INTRODUCTION. 



The lessons embodied in this work are the out- 
growth of some experience in teaching- Mechanical 
Drawing, also of many years of practice as a draughts- 
man. 

It is the belief of the writer of this work that a pupil 
who has mastered the several lessons in their regular 
order will be able to read any drawing, and further, 
that he will be capable of making the usual run of 
drawings that come up in the repair shop, and, in fact, 
in many of the larger works. It is not the object of the 
writer to train designers. That would be out of the 
question, as designing calls for a wide range of knowl- 
edge based upon experience, whereas drawing is 
purely mechanical, and based upon certain unvarying 
laws. 

Some draughtsmen will turn out better work than 
others. This comes partly from practice, and is in 
many cases due to a natural aptitude in the manipula- 
tion of the instruments. 

The pupil in following the .work laid out in these 
pages must not content himself with merely copying 
the seveial plates, but should, on the contrary, do each 
one over and over, until he knows it absolutely, and can 
see the object of the lesson and understand why each 
line is drawn. He should study the Problems until he 



has them at his finger tips. In working them over and 
over again he is not only learning the problems, but is 
at the same time acquiring facility in the handling of 
the tools. 

The first lesson on the Planes of Projection is of 
first importance, and must be understood, as it is the 
key to all that follows. This cannot be too strongly 
emphasized. 

If any one takes up this book with the idea of merely 
copying the plates, he had better not begin ; there is no 
royal road to acquiring the knowledge necessary to be- 
come a draughtsman. It can be done only by thor- 
oughly understanding the principles underlying the art 
of drawing. The only merit claimed for this work is 
in the selection of the lessons, their systematic arrange- 
ment, and in making the explanations simple and direct 
— stripping them of all needless words. 

The same laws apply to all branches of technical 
drawing; therefore the pupil who has learned the laws 
upon which technical drawing is based can take up any 
special line, such as mechanical, architectural, etc. 

The aim of this book is to teach these laws and how 
to apply them, and as the writer has proved the method 
embodied herein, he feels encouraged to offer the work 
to those who are wanting this knowledge.

CHAPTER I. 



Geometrical Definitions. 



1 Space has three Dimensions, called Length, 
Breadth and Thickness. 

2 A Point has position, but not magnitude. 

3 A Line has length, but neither breadth nor 
thickness. 

4 A Surface has two dimensions, length and 
breadth. 

5 A Solid has three dimensions, length, breadth 
and tliickness. 

6 A Straight line is one which 

does not change its direction at any 

point. 

7 A Curved line is one which 
does change its direction at every 
point. 

8 A Broken line is made up of 
straight lines, each one lying in a 
different direction. 

9 A Plane Surface, or a Plane, is a surface in which, 
if any two points be taken, the straight line joining 
these points will lie wholly within the surface. 

10 A Curved Surface is a surface no part of which is 
plane. 




11 A Plane Figure is a portion of a plane bounded 
by lines either straight or curved. 

12 A Straight Line is the shortest distance between 
two points. 

13 An Angle is the amount of divergence of two 
lines ; the point in which the lines meet is called the 
vertex. 

14 The magnitude of an angle depends wholly upon 
the extent of opening of its sides, and is expressed in 
degrees (°), minutes (') and seconds ("). 

15 Adjacent angles are angles 
that have a common vertex and a 
common side. Thus the angles 
A B C and C B D are adjacent '^- 
angles. 

16 A Right Angle is an angle in- 
cluded between two straight lines 
which meet each other so that the 
two adjacent angles formed by pro- ^ 
ducing one of the lines through the 
vertex are equal. Thus if the straight 

line A B meet the straight line C D, making the ad- 
jacent angles ABC and A B D equal to each other, 
they will each be a right angle. 



A MANUAL OF MECHANICAL DRAWING. 



17 Perpendicular lines are lines which make a right 
angle with oacli other. 



18 An Aculc Angle is less than a 
right angle. 

19 An Obtuse Angle is greater than 
a right angle. 



20 The Complement of an angle is 
the difference between a right angle 
and the given angle. Thus A B D is 
the complement of D B C. 




21 The Supplement of an angle is 
the difference between two right 
angles and the given angle. Thus 
A B D is the supplement of D B C. c- 



22 As before stated ( 14), the magnitude of an angle 
is expressed in degrees, minutes and seconds. The 
sum of all the angles that can be formed about a given 
point is equal to 360°, and as but four right angles can 
be formed about a given point, it follows that each 
right angle is equal to 90°. 

23 A Triangle is a portion of a plane bounded by 
three straight lines. 

24 A Scalene triangle is one which 
has no two sides equal. 






25 An Isosceles triangle is one 
which has two sides equal. 



26 An Equilateral triangle is one which 
has all three sides equal. 

27 A Right triangle has one of its 
angles a right angle. The side opposite 
the right angle is called the hypotii- 
enuse. 

28 An Obtuse triangle has one of its 
angles an obtuse angle. 

29 An Acute triangle is one which has 
all of its angles acute. 



30 An Equiangular triangle is one which has all of 
its angles equal ; it is also equilateral. 

31 The Base of a triangle is the side upon which it is 
supposed to stand, and the angle opposite the base is 
called the Vertical angle, and its vertex is called the 
Vertex of the triangle. 

32 The Altitude of a triangle is the 
perpendicular distance from the base to 
the vertex. 

33 A Quadrilateral is a plane figure bounded by four 

straight lines. 





A MANUAL OF MECHANICAL DRAWING. 



34 A Trapezium is a quadrilateral 
which has no two sides parallel. 

35 A Trapezoid is a quadrilateral 
which has two sides parallel. 



36 A Parallelogram is a quadri- 
lateral which has its opposite sides 
parallel. 




37 A Rectangle is a parallelogram in 
which all the angles are right angles. 

38 A Square is a parallelogram in which 
all the angles are right angles and all the 
sides equal. 

39 A Rhombus is a parallelogram 
which has its sides equal btit its angles 
oblique. 

40 A Rhomboid is a parallelogram y 
which has its opposite sides equal and / 
its angles oblique. ^ — 



41 A Diagonal of a quadrilateral 
is a straight line joining any two oppo- 
site angles. 



42 A Polygon is a plane figure bounded by straight 
lines. 



43 A Diagonal of a polygon is a 
straight line joining the vertices of two 
angles not adjacent. 



.j^ 



44 An Equilateral polygon is one in which all the 
sides are equal. 

45 An Equiangular polygon is one in which all the 
angles are equal. 

46 Polygons are named from the number of their 
sides. A polygon of three sides is a Triangle^ one of 
four sides a Quadrilateral, one of five sides a Pentagon, 
one of six sides a Hexagon, one of seven sides a 
Heptagon, one of eight sides an Octagon, one of nine 
sides a Nonagon, one of ten sides a Decagon, one of 
eleven sides an Undecagon, and one of twelve sides a 
Dodecagon. 



47 A Circle is a plain figure bounded 
by a curved line called the Circumference, 
all points of which are equally distant from 
a point within called the Centre. 

48 A Radius of a circle is a straight line 
drawn from the centre to the circumfer- 
ence. 





A MANUAL OF MECHANICAL DRAWING. 



49 A Diameter of a circle is any straight 
line passing througii the centre and having 
its extremities in the circumference. 



50 An Arc of a circle is any portion of 
the circumference. 



51 A Chord of a circle is any straight 
line having its extremities in the circum- 
ference. 



52 A Segment of a circle is a portion of ' 
the surface enclosed by an arc and its 
chord. 



53 A Semicircle is a segment equal to 
half the circle. 








54 A Sector of a circle is a portion of a 
circle enclosed by two radii and the arc 
which they intersect. 




55 A Tangent is a straight line 
which touches the circumference but 
does not intersect it. The point where 
the tangent touches the circle is called 
the Point of Tangcncy. 

56 Two Circumferences are tangent to each other 
when they are tangent to a straight line at the same 
point. 

57 A Secant is a straight line which intersects the 
circumference in two points. 

58 A Polygon is inscribed in a circle when all of its 
sides are chords of the circle. 

59 A Polygon is circumscribed about a circle when 
all of its sides are tangent to the circle, and a circle is 
circumscribed about a polygon when the circumference 
passes through all the vertices of the polygon.

then with A and B for centres, and radius greater than 
A C, draw the intersecting arcs at D. Join C and D. 

3 From the end of a straight c^ 
line to draw a perpendicular to 
that line. From some point 
without the line as C, draw the

ference well separated as A, B 
and C. With these points as centres 
draw the intersecting arcs, and 
through these intersections draw 
straight lines intersecting at D. D 
will be the required centre.

the same construction as used for No. 10, the centre D 
being found by the same method. 

12 To draw an arc of a 
circle tlirough three given 
points when the centre is not 
available. Let it be required 
to draw an arc of a circle 
through points A, B and C.

and radius A C draw the indefinite arcs A F and C G. 
Draw straight lines ABE and C B D. Divide the 
arcs A D and C E into any number of equal parts and 
space off D F and E G with the same divisions. Draw 
Ai', A2', A3', etc., and Ci, C2, C^' etc.. the inter- 
sections of these lines will be the points in the required 
arc. 



13 To draw a tangent to a circle 
from a given point in the circumfer- 
ence. Let B be the given point. 
From the centre of the circle draw 
the radius A B and prolong it to C. 
making B C equal to A B. With 
A and C as centres draw arcs in- 
tersecting at D and E : draw D E, 
which is the required tangent.

CHAPTER III. 



Drawing Instruments, How to Select, Care for and Use Them. 



How to Select Instruments. — The metals usual!)- 
used for drawing instruments are German silver of 
varying quality and steel or iron. Iron is used only 
in the cheapest instruments, and therefore merits no 
further attention. 

The steel should be of the best quality, and properly 
tempered. The cheaper grades of instruments are 
made from castings of German silver, and because of 
the softness of the metal the instruments must be made 
bulky and heavy, in order to secure the requisite stiff- 
ness. The makers resort to hammering and swaging 
to overcome this objection, but the remedy is only 
partial, and as a consequence the cheap instruments are 
always clumsy and of poor finish, with badly fitted 
joints, which soon become loose, rendering the instru- 
ment — a compass or dividers, for instance — useless. 
The points are rarely tem.pered, and the soft metal is 
easily bent and always dull. In the best instruments 
the German silver parts are made from hard rolled 
sheet stock, the blanks being first cut by sawing, and 
are gradually reduced to form by milling and filing. 
The joints are carefully fitted, and the hard metal will 
withstand constant use for many years. They are of 
graceful form, light in weight and rigid, the finish is 



of the highest order, the high polish derived from the 
buffing wheel being conspicuous by its absence, but in 
its place is found the exquisite finish known as the 
"mathematical instrument finish." 

This finish brings out all the beauty of the metal, 
leaves all corners clean and smooth, but does not hide 
faults in the material or workmanship. 

The most important instruments are Compasses (in- 
cluding Dividers), Ruling Pens and Bows, which are 
described in detail below. 

Compasses, — The most essential part of a pair of 
compasses is the head, which forms the joint. There 
are two kinds of joints — the tongue joint, in which 
the head of one leg has a tongue, generally of steel, 
which moves between two lugs on the other leg, and 
the piz'ot joint, in which each leg is reduced to half 
thickness at the head. These are embraced by a clamp 
or yoke, which carries a conical pointed screw in 
each side, the points of the screws working in 
sinks in the compass head. The yoke is further 
provided with a handle with which to manipulate the 
tool. 

The head joint should move freely and evenly 
throughout its entire range — not stiff at one point and

loose at another. It should, however, be tight enough 
to hold its adjustment when set. 

Another important feature in the compass is the 
socket joint for the several "points." In the following 





TONGUE JOINT. 



riVOT JOINT. 



illustrations are shown two good forms, the 
long and strong pentagonal shape and the 
round shank with steel feather or tongue. 
The former should fit snugly into a socket 
of the same shape and be held there by a 
set-screw. The latter (the round shank) is 
held by the spring of the socket, while the

tongue insures proper alignment : the absence of the 
set-screw is considered by some a desirable feature. 

This is readily tested by inserting the several parts 
and then bending them, as shown l^y the cut. 



when their points should meet. This is also a good 
test for the alignment- of the shank in the socket, and 
every good instrument should stand the test. 

The compass with fixed needle point and interchange- 
able pen and pencil points and lengthening bar is prob- 
ably the most convenient instrument, as the steel points 
are only of use when the compasses are employed as 
dividers, which is very seldom, as every draughtsman 
should have in his set of tools a hairspring divider. 

To sum up, compasses should be of good material 
of proper hardness and of sufficient weight to insure 




COiMrASS IN POSITION FOR TESTING ALIGNMENT. 

rigidity in all positions. All joints should move in one 
plane ; the shanks of the several "points" should be 
properly fitted, and the workmanship should be perfect 
throughout. The finish should be put on with care, and 
the iiistniiiioits should not have a glossy polish, as this 
is only a substitute for the proper finish, and is resorted 
to for the purixDse of hiding defects and because it is 
cheap.

A MANUAL OF MECHANICAL DRAWING. 



The Drawing Pen is the instrument of a Draughts- 
man's outfit which is in nearly constant use, and in 
which defects would therefore become obvious most 
readily. 

Drawing pens are of two different constructions, one 
kind with a hinge joint to allow the blades to be thrown 
apart for cleaning, and the other v/ithout a joint. The 



PEN WITH JOINT. 

joint should, of course, be very carefully made, other- 
wise the upper blade soon becomes shaky, and the pen 
consequently useless. Probably the best pen is the one 
shown in the cut below, in which the upper blade 
springs open when the screw is released from the lower 
blade. A good pen without a joint is to be preferred 
to the one with a joint, no matter how well it is made, 
and it costs less. 



with the drawing paper. The points should be so 
shaped that they are fine enough to admit of absolute 
control of the contact of the pen in starting and ending 
lines, but otherwise as broad and rounded as possible, 
in order to hold a good quantity of ink without drop- 
ping it. The lower blade should be sufficiently firm, to 
prevent the approach of the blades of the pen when 
using it against a straight edge. The spring of the 
pen which separates the two blades should be strong 
enough to hold the upper blade in its position, but not 
so strong as to prevent easy adjustment by the thumb- 
screw. The thread of the thumbscrew should be deeply 
and evenly cut, so as not to strip easily. 

Spring Bows were originally in the shape of small 
compasses, but have been gradually developed into the 
form shown in cut below. What is said in the descrip- 
tion of ruling pens about the necessity for a sufficiently 
stiff spring, and about the relation between spring pres- 
sure and thumbscrew, applies to bows of spring steel, 
just as well as to blades of ruling pens. 




A good drawing pen should be rriaae of properly 
tempered steel, neither too soft nor hardened to brittle- 
ness. The nibs should be accurately set, both of the 
same length, and both equally firm when in contact 




CARE OF INSTRUMENTS. 



Pens. — Keep a piece of soft cotton or muslin at hand 
and frequently wipe the pen, particularly between the 



A MANUAL Ol-' MECHANICAL DRAWING,

blades, removing all ink scales that may be clinging to 
them, and always clean the pen thoroughly before lay- 
ing it away after using. The blades being exposed to 
the moisture of the ink will in time become corroded. 
Careful cleaning is the best way to prevent it. 

Never use ordinary writing inks. They contain acids 
which will soon destroy the pen points. When pen 
points become dull it is always best to have them put in 
order by a dealer ; the cost is trifling, and the work will 
be properly done, whereas the beginner is liable to do 
more harm than good. Should there be no dealer ac- 
cessible, the draughtsman must of course do his own 
sharpening, practicing on a pen of little value until he 
has acquired the knack. A good method is as follows : 
By m£ans of the thumbscrew bring the points to- 
gether and round them smoothly and evenly on a fine 
oilstone, a small Arkansas slip being the best for this 
purpose. This will leave the points thick, but properly 
rounded and of equal length. Now separate the blades 
about an eighth of an inch, take the pen in the left hand 
between the thumb and fore finger and the oilstone in 
the right hand. Bring the pen and stone together, hold- 
ing the pen at a very acute angle to the surface of the 
stone to avoid making the points too short ; hold the left 
hand still and rub the stone against the pen, all the time 
rolling the pen back and forth between the thumb and 
finger until both points are brought to a thin, smooth 
edge. Be careful not to get one blade shorter than the 
other, and never hone the inside of the blade unless it 



is so badly corroded that a smooth point cannot be se- 
cured otherwise. As the work progresses, the pen 
should be occasionally tried with ink until it will make 
a fine, clear line without scratching or cutting into the 
paper. A little practice will enable the average 
draughtsman to do this work with ease and certainty. 

Dividers and Compasses. — Be careful of the points. 
Do not use them on metal ; they are not intended for 
such use. When the points become dull they can easily 
be put into proper shape with the oilstone after the 
manner of pointing a pen. The needle points should 
be kept sharp, and when they become dull they may be 
repointed on the oilstone. If a lathe with a small 
chuck is available, catch the needle point in the chuck, 
and while it is revolving rapidly sharpen it with the oil- 
stone, using it after the manner of a file. The Arkansas 
stone being very hard and fine, will retain its square 
corners indefinitely, if used only for this purpose. 

The points of the Compass and Dividers should work 
freely, with just enough friction to hold them in po- 
sition when the legs are well opened. If they are too 
tight it is difficult to adjust them accurately to a re- 
quired position. The head joint is readily adjusted by 
means of a key, which is included with the fittings of 
the instrument, but a real good tool will not require 
adjustment even after many years of constant use. A 
cheap one will require very frequent setting. Do not 
oil the joints. 

Bows. — What has been said with reference to pens

applies equally well to bow pens, and but little further 
can be said in regard to them except that the adjusting 
nut and screw should occasionally be oiled and then 
wiped, so that the fingers and consequently the draw- 
ing do not become soiled. 

Do not get into the habit of tossing the instruments 
into a box or drawer ; there is always danger of break- 
ing or bending their points. If you do not have a 
case with compartments to fit the various instruments, 
get a piece of chamois leather and roll the tools in it, 
keeping the pieces separate as you roll them. 

The T square and triangles, also the scale, should be 
properly protected, otherwise their edges will become 
nicked, and consequently useless. 

It is well to bear in mind that the draughtsman who 
is careless of his tools is very apt to be careless in his 
work. 

Use of the Various Tools. — The large Compass is for 
drawing circles of say from i^ inches diameter up to 
their limit, which, with the six-inch size, and using the 
lengthening bar, will be about 20 inches diameter. 

The Hair Spring Dividers are used for dividing lines 
and circles, and these, by means of the hair spring, are 
capable of very accurate adjustment. 

The small Bow Pen and Pencil are for small circles, 
i^ inches diameter and under ; also for drawing fillets, 
rounding corners, etc., while the small spacing or spring 
divider is used for minute subdivisions for which the 
large hair spring divider would be unhandy because of 



its size. The drawing pen is for straight or curved 
lines, where it is guided by the T square, triangle or 
curve. This pen is adjusted by means of the thumb- 
screw to draw fine or coarse lines at will, and in use 
should be held vertical, or nearly so, that the point, and 
not the side of the pen, is in contact with the paper, and 
it should be pressed firmly but lightly against the guid- 
ing edge, otherwise the line drawn will not be true and 
clean. 

When using the Compass, always have the needle 
point in place ; thus you will avoid boring large, un- 
sightly holes in the paper and the inaccuracies that 
would naturally result therefrom. 

The T square head should be placed against 
the left hand end of the drawing board, and should be 
used only for drawing horizontal lines, while the tri- 
angles are for angles of 30°-6o° and 90°, and 45° and 
90° to these horizontal lines, the blade of the T square 
being the guide for the triangles. The T square is 
manipulated by the left hand, the triangles being 
moved by the right hand to position and held by the left 
hand while the line is drawn, the blade of the T square 
being held by the left fore arm or wrist. The 30°-6o° 
triangle can also be used for drawing hexagon bolt 
heads and nuts, for dividing a circle into six or twelve 
equal parts, while the 45° triangle will serve for square 
bolt heads or nuts and for dividing a circle into four or 
eight equal parts. See Figs, i and 2. 

They can also be used for drawing parallel lines at 



A MANUAL OV MIXII AXICAL DRAWING.

Other angles than those given. Place the two triangles 
together, as in Fig. 3, and bring one edge of one of 
them to llie line to wliich the parallel is to be drawn.

Fig. 2. 



Hold triangle A firmly with the left hand and slide 
triangle B along in either direction, holding it firmly 
against A, to the point through which the line is to be 
drawn. 

The Pencil should be sharp- 
ened at both ends, the lead 
cjuite long, and brought to a 
fine round point at one end and 
to a chisel point at the other. 
The round point is for mark- 
ing off from the scale, the 
other for drawing the lines. The reason for sharpen- 
ing one lead fiat is that it will wear longer than a 
round point, but it is not suited for laying ofif from 
the scale, hence the round point for that purpose. A 




Fig. 3. 



fine file or piece of fine sand or emery paper is used 
for sharpening the lead, preferably the former. Lines 
should be drawn firm and clear, but not too hard, as 
it is difificult to erase them when they are cut deep 
into the paper through too great pressure on the 
hard lead. For compass points and bow pencil use 
Faber's 6H artists' leads, and sharpen them K) the 
chisel point as described above. 

To mount a sheet of paper on the drawing board 
proceed as follows : 

In Fig. 4, A is the drawing board. B the paper. 
First pin the upper left hand corner to the board at C, 

stretch the paper from C 
to the lower right hand 
corner D by drawing the 
palm of the hand in the 
direction of the arrow, 
using enough pressure to 
draw the paper, but not 
sufficient to tear it away 
from C. and put in pin 
D. Next beginning at 
the middle, stretch the paper toward the lower left hand 
corner and put in pin E, and finally stretch from centre 
and put in the remaining pin D. Except on large 
sheets of paper it is not necessary to use more than the 
four pins at the corners of the sheet. 

The beginner should practice on the figures of Chap- 
ter II until he is thoroughly familiar with them, at first 




i6

using the pencil only until he has acquired neatness 
of execution, and not until then should he resort to 
the pens. In fact, he woidd do well to work at the 
exercises in projection, sections and the construction 
of the various curves and other figures, doing each 
lesson over repeatedly until he is not only familiar with 
them, but can as well make a clean, neat pencil draw- 
ing. Then will be time enough for ink drawing. 

Lines. — The lines usually employed in mechanical 
drawing are : 

The fine full line for the figure to be represented. 

The heavy full line, shade or shadow lines. 

The dot and dash 

for centre lines. 

The dash and two dots ^ 

for centre lines. 

The dot • for indicating 

internal parts or parts that may be behind others ; also 
to indicate dimensions. When the dotted line is used 
to mark dimensions the arrow head or witness mark > 
is placed at each end, to indicate the points between 
which the measurement is taken, and the dimension is 
marked on the line in figures thus 

<. ,^1 ^ 

In addition to the figures indicating dimensions, there 
are Other instructions to be given the mechanic, such as 



directions in regard to finish or machining. When a 
piece of machinery is to be worked or machined in every 
detail, the general direction "Finish all over" tells the 
mechanic it is to be turned, planed, filed, or otherwise 
worked to bring it to the required dimensions. Fur- 
ther, the expression informs the pattern maker or smith 
that additional metal over the dimensions given is to 
be left to be removed in the operation of finishing. 
When only certain surfaces are to be finished, leaving 
the remaining parts rough, the mark "f" is placed upon 
the surface. 

When one piece is to be fitted to another hard or 
tight, such as a bolt into a hole, the kind of fit is 
marked on the particular piece, such as "driving fit," 
which means that the bolt is to be turned of such a size 
that it must be driven to place with a hammer. Again, 
"reamed fit" would mean that the bolt should be turned 
so that it can be pushed or lightly tapped to place, and 
yet must fit so perfectly that it will not admit of the 
slightest movement. 

Any special directions can be given, but they should 
be stated concisely. When the directions cannot be 
marked directly upon the object, an arrow connecting 
the explanation with the point or part referred to must 
be used. Examples of these directions are given in 
the several lessons on shop drawings. 

In drawing these broken lines, acquire the habit of 
making all the dots equal in length ; also the spaces 
between them.

ject it is represented as broken. If the object is square 

or rectangular in section the 
break is represented by

a ragged line, thus 
If round, thus :

Shade lines, while not necessary, always improve the 
appearance of the drawing, making it stand out from 
the paper, and aiding the eye in taking in the form. 
The rule to be followed in putting them in a drawing is 
simple. The light is supposed to strike the upper and 
left hand sides of the object — that is, to strike at an 
angle of 45°, thus putting the right hand side and bot- 
tom in shadow, or rather making them cast a shadow. 
This is shown m the figure of a 
square (Fig. 5), the arrow indicat- 
ing the direction of the light rays. 
Objects having corners or edges are 
plainly shown by means of these 
shade lines. A cylinder in ele- 
vation should not be shaded, but the 
square end should be shaded, as in 
Fig. 6. A cylinder in 
plan would show a circle, 
and this should be shaded, 
the shade line extending 
around half the circum- 
ference, the heaviest part 



Fig. 5. 




Fig. 7. 



Fig. 6. 



of the line being opposite the highest light and grad- 
ually reducing in width to that 
of the light line. To do this, 
draw first the line representing 
the cylinder, then find a new 
centre in a line following the 
direction of the light, and with 
the same radius draw another 
line on the lower right side for 
the outside, and the upper loft 
for the inside of the cylinder. 
In Fig. 7 this is shown with 
lines exaggerated in order to show how the compass 
point is to be placed. 

An object shown in section is indicated by "section 
lines" — that is, by parallel lines at the angle of 45° to 
the main lines of the object. When the object is made up 
of two or more pieces the section lines for one piece 
are drawn at right angles, or 90°, to those of the next 
piece. See Fig. 8 and the lesson plates. 

Lines are also used to represent the various ma- 
terials of construction when shown in section. These 
are shown on Plate 39. 

The light lines should be uni- 
form in breadth, as well as the 
shade lines, while section lines 
should vary according to ma- 
terial to be represented. Many 
draughtsmen do not use the Fig. 8.

A MANUAL OF MECHANICAL DRAWING. 



"conventional" lines referred to above, but instead em- 
ploy only the simple fine line as in Fig. 8, and indicate 
the material to be used by marking its name upon the 
figure. 

Line Shading is sometimes employed, but not often, 
as when it is considered necessary to make some par- 
ticular piece or part of a drawing conspicuous, or it is 
desired to make a picture of the drawing, as, for in- 
stance, a complete machine. This is accomplished by 
varying the widths or thickness of the lines and the 
spaces between them. Several examples of line shading 
are given in Plate 42. 

Fig. I. End and side elevation of a cylinder. The 
rule to be followed is for the direction of light the 
same as for shade lines. Objects in elevation are 
lighted from the upper left hand comer, therefore the 
highest light would be at the point where the light 
strikes full upon the surface and the darkest point 
about at right angles to the high light. This is clearly 
shown in Fig. i. A hollow object, such as a cylinder 
in section, would show light and shadow just the op- 
posite of what would appear on the outside surface of 
the cylinder. (See Fig. 2.) 

Figs. 3 and 4 show a square and hexagonal prism in 
elevation ; above them the plans. In the case of the 
plan the light will strike from the lower left hand, as 
shown. In this case, the surfaces being flat, the lines 
are equally spaced over the surface. The flat side, re- 
ceiving the light direct, being covered with light lines 



equally spaced, while the side away from the light is 
covered with heavy lines, also equally spaced. In Fig. 
4, there being three sides, each one being lined dif- 
ferently, the lightest side next the light and the darkest 
farthest from the light. In Fig. 5 is shown a flat sur- 
face, and to show the effect of the slightest variation, 
either in the width or spacing of the lines, one of the 
spaces is purposely increased ; this at once makes a 
break in the surface. This shows at once the necessity 
for absolute accuracy in both spacing and thickness of 
the lines. In Fig. 6 is shown a waving or corrugated 
surface, while Fig. 7 shows how a sphere should be 
shaded. The point of high light would be a small circle 
somewhat less in diameter than the radius of the sphere. 

Lettering. — Plain, strong letters and figures only 
should be used, fancy lettering being out of place on 
a mechanical drawing; they are also liable to be con- 
fusing to the mechanic who is to work from the draw- 
ing. There are two styles that are particularly suited 
to drawings. The Roman for titles and the Italic, with 
figures to correspond, for notes on the body of the 
drawing and for dimensions. The light-faced Roman 
may also be used for this purpose. These several alpha- 
bets are given on Plate 40. 

As to titles, these are gradually being discontinued by 
most of the large workshops, and the simple system of 
numbering substituted therefor. The drawing under 
this system bears in one of its corners a large number 
or letter, which indicates its class, or the group to 



A MANUAL OF MIX'UANICAL UKAWING.

which it belongs, and another number the drawer in 
which it is filed ; also in small letters the scale or scales, 
if more than one on the sheet, the date of completion, as 
well as the initials of the draughtsman and the checker. 
If there is more than one sheet to a given machine then 
these sheets should be plainly numbered consecutively. 

An index is kept, which gives the name of the ma- 
chine and the part or parts represented on each sheet, 
as well as the number of the sheet and the drawer in 
which it is kept, so that any particular drawing can be 
found instantly. 

A sample of a form used very generally is given in 
the annexed figure, in which all of the means or marks 
for identification are given.

Should the drawing be changed at any subsequent 
time, the changes are noted on the drawing and the 
record of the change is made above the title in the form 
of a sub-title, thus :

Example: It is learned that a certain machine can 
be improved by making a slight change in a particular 
casting. Said change is a minor one, and will not neces- 
sitate a new drawing. Accordingly, the old drawing 
is changed, and the date and number of the part re- 
corded as above. That is, part No. 27 was altered 
May lOtli, 1903. If more than one part is altered these 
changes are duly recorded, one beneath the other, as 
indicated. If the change requires a new drawing, this 
drawing is given a new number, and the fact noted on 
the old drawing, which is preserved, thus making the 
history of the development of the machine complete. 
Tliis follows upon the practice of numbering each in- 
dividual piece of the machine as is indicated on 
Plate 52. 

Some of the large shops simply mark in the lower 
right hand corner of their drawings in large figures and 

letters, as: KJU~A''0. meaning Machine No. 36, 

Drawer A, Sheet No. 5, March 27lh, 1903. All other 
data being recorded in the index book. 

Dimensions. — In putting the figures or dimensions on 
a drawing, do not be afraid of putting on too many. 
The drawing should answer every question the me- 
chanic can ask — in short, should give full information 
upon every point and for every class of mechanic. 
Therefore the draughtsman should consider who will 
work from the drawing; if i)attern makers, machinists 



20 



A MANUAL OF MECHANICAL DRAWING. 






and blacksmiths, supply full information for each one. 
In fact, let the drawing be looked upon as something 
to indicate certain forms, and make it supply full in- 
formation from which to reproduce these forms in the 
metals or other materials. Feet are indicated by a 
single mark and inches by two marks, and are sepa- 
rated by a dash. Two feet six and one-half inches 
would be written on the drawing thus, 2' — 6^". Three 
feet and one-quarter of an inch thus, 3' — Oj". 

The Scales. — Those usually employed are half size, in 
which a half inch on the drawing repre- 
sents an inch on the machine, then each 
eighth of an inch is equal to a quarter — 
of an inch, and each sixteenth to an 
eighth ; quarter size, or three inches to a 
foot ; eighth size, or one and a half inches 
to one foot ; one-twelfth, or one inch to 
one foot ; one-sixteenth, or three-quar- . 
ters of an inch to the foot ; one 
twenty-fourth, or half inch to the 
foot, and so on down. Smaller than one-quarter inch to 
the foot is rarely used. The larger the scale the better, 
as it is easier to show detail on a large scale than a 
small one ; also large scale drawings are more likely to 
be accurate. Whatever the unit chosen to represent a 
foot it is divided into twelve equal parts, representing 
inches, and if the unit is large enough these are further 
divided into halves, quarters and even eighths, as in 
the scale of 3"=! foot. 



The beginner should acquire accuracy in drawing the 
lines, as well as in figuring the drawing. Certain main 
dimensions are always required to begin the drawing, 
but when it is completed and the dimensions are to be 
put in, these must be taken from the drawing with the 
scale. When there are a number of intermediate di- 
mensions, be sure that their sum is equal to the extreme 
or over all dimension, as in the sketch for a crank shaft 

(Fig- 9)- 
Freehand sketching should be acquired by every

draughtsman, as he is frequently called upon to make 
sketches from broken pieces of machinery, to be after- 
wards used as notes from which to make drawings. 
These sketches consist of outlines giving the form of 
the object in as many views as may be necessary to 
show its form and bearing the measurements required 
for making a correct drawing. 

In taking a dimension from the scale — for instance 
an inch — do not mark it off either full or scant, but let

it be just an inch. Always draw the centre line or lines 
about which the figures are to be constructed as the 
starting point, and work from these centre lines. 

Do not consume needless space. Place the several 
views of an object near enough to each other that their 
relation will be established at a glance, and do not make 
needless views. Consider the form and decide what are 
the best points from which to view it, and make the 
drawing accordingly. 

In drawing a tangent to an arc or a circle, make it 
truly tangent ; also in putting in fillets or in rounding 
corners do it thus : x Not thus 



Or thus :

In drawing or finishing a drawing with ink it is best 
to fill in the circles and arcs first, afterwards drawing 
the straight lines, the reason being that it is easier to 
fit a tangent or straight line to an arc or curve than is 
the reverse process. 

INSTRUMENTS REQUIRED. 

The mechanical or architectural draughtsman may do 
his work with comparatively few instruments, there- 
fore there should be no real excuse for his buying any 
but the best quality, and the beginner is urged to bear 
in mind the various descriptions given at the beginning 
of this chapter when making his selection. The fol- 
lowing tools and supplies will be required, and they 



will be found ample in number and size for the average 
of the work done by the draughtsman : 

One Compass 5| inches or 6 inches long, with fixed 
needle point, pen and pencil points and lengthening bar. 




^^aE^. 



One Hair Spring Divider, 4 inches long. 




One Set Spring Bows 3] inches long, consisting of 
pen, pencil and spacer. 




22 



A MANUAL OF MECHANICAL DRAWING. 



One Drawing Pen, 4^ or 5 inches long. 




One Triangular Scale 12 inches long, with divisions 
in twelfths, those coated with white celluloid being the 
best. 



One T Square with blade of 36 inches or more. 





One Triangle 7" 45°, of celluloid or rubber. One 
Triangle 9" 30°-6o°, of celluloid or rubber. 




Two or more Irreg- 
ular Curves. Some of 
the many forms of 
these are shown in cut. 
They should be either 
of celluloid or rubber. 



One Protractor, 4-inch or 5-inch, of German silver, 
graduated to degrees or half degrees, to be used for 
measuring and laying oiif angles. 




One Drawing Board, not less than 20x26 inches. 

A fev*/" Thumb Tacks, a piece of good Rubber, a 6H 
Pencil, either Hardmuth's or Faber's; a 6H Artist's 
Lead for compass points, and a few sheets of good 
detail drawing paper, about 16x20 inches. 

There are many other instruments which are con- 
venient, but not necessary, such as 3J inch Compasses

n 



with fixed needle and pen or pencil points. These in 
range come between the large compass and the spring 
bows, and as the points are fixed there is no changing 




from pencil to pen. Further, the majority of the arcs 
and circles the draughtsman deals with come within 
their range. 

Another very useful tool is the Beam Compass, 
which is used for drawing very large circles. It 
takes its name from the fact that the two heads are 




<3 






clamped to a wood bar or beam. It is fitted with pen, 
pencil and needle points.

Symbols and abbreviations: 

The sign for equality is = and is read equal to. 

The sign for addition is -|- and is read plus. 

The sign for subtraction is — and is read minus. 

The sign for multiplication is X and is read multi- 
plied by. 

The sign for division is -~ and is read divided by. 

When a number is multiplied by itself several times 
this operation is indicated by writing to the right and 
above it a small figure denoting the number of times 
the multiplication is performed or the number of times 
the number is taken as a factor. Thus 6^ indicates 
that 6 is taken twice as a factor and is read six square; 
5* indicates that 5 is taken three times and is read five 
cube; while 7^ means that 7 is taken five times and 
is read seven to the fifth power. The factor of which 
a power is composed is called the root, and is indicated 
in the radical sign V, and the operation of finding 
the factor is called the "extraction of the root." The 
power is written under the radical sign and a small 
figure called the index, or exponent, is written above 

it to indicate the root to be extracted. Thus ^/ 

indicates that the cube root of twenty-seven is to be 



ascertained, ^r*^ indicates that the fifth root of two 

hundred and forty-three is to be extracted. When no 
index or exponent is written it is understood that the 

square root is to be extracted thus : ^j 

The operation of extracting roots can be learned from 
any arithmetic. 

Diameter is written Diam. Radius is written Rad. 
Circumference is written Circ. Perpendicular is writ- 
ten Perp. The sign tt, called Pi, indicates ratio of 
diameter of circle to circumference.

Compound Levers. — When a compound lever is in 

equilibrium, the power multiplied by the continued 

product of the alternate arms commencing with the 

power, is equal to the load multiplied by the continued 

product of the alternate arms commencing with the 

load. ^

Differential Block. 
Power multiplied by radius 
of crank is equal to the load 
multiplied by half the difference 
of the radii of the two parts of 
the axle or drum. 



Pulley. — Load is equal to the power multiplied by 
the number of parts of rope supporting the load or 
running block. This law applies only when one con- 
tinuous rope passes through the whole system, and 
when its parts are parallel. 

Inclined Plane. 
The power = load X ratio of the 
vertical height of the plane to its 
length. A

Law. — The power is to the load as the height 
of the wedge is to its base. These laws are of 
no practical value beyond the fact shown: that the 
efficiency of the wedge or its power increases with its 
thinness. The reasons for this are that the power is 



applied not by continuous force but by percussion, for 
which there are no numerical standards of comparison.

force acts, W = weight 
or resistance.

To ascertain the area of other circles than those in table, 
multiply the square of the diameter in inches by .7854- 

To ascertain the area of a circular ring, subtract area of 
inner diameter from the area of outside diameter. 

To ascertain solidity in cubic inches of a cylinder, multiply 
area of one end in square inches by the length of the cylinder 
in inches. 

To a.scertain solidity in cubic inches of a hollow cylinder, 
subtract the area of the inside diameter in square inches from 
the area of the outside diameter in inches, and multiply the 
remainder by the length of cylinder in inches. 

To find the weight in pounds of a hollow cylinder of cast 
iron, multiply the solidity in cubic inches by .26. 

Example.— Find the weight of a cylinder of cast iron whose 
dimensions are :

CHAPTER V. 



Plate i. The Planes of Projection and Projections. 



A solid of any desired form can be shown in many 
different views, which, summed up, are the plan — 
upper and under — and the elevation, end and side or 
longitudinal. > 

The names given to the views are according to the 
positions from which the object is seen. These are 
clearly shown in the several views of a cube ( Plate i ) . 
In the upper left hand corner is shown a perspective 
(isometrical) of the cube, with its several faces num- 
bered ; the sides imm.ediately in front or full view are 
represented by full lines and figures, while the sides or 
faces at the back are shown by dotted lines and figures. 
This figure is given for the purpose of showing the re- 
lation the several sides bear to each other, and by com- 
paring with the figures in projection it will be seen 
clearly the positions taken by the object in bringing its 
different sides into view. 

Front Elevation. — The central figure shows a cube 
resting on one of its edges, the sides taking the direc- 
tion of 45° to the horizontal. Being a cube, all the faces 
are squares, and all its edges of equal length ; therefore 
the dimensions being known the figure would be drawn 
as follows : First draw a circle whose diameter is equal 
to the length of a side, next with T square and 45° 



triangle draw the sides 2-3-4-5 tangent to the circle and 
intersecting at the corners. This completes the front 
elevation. 

Left Side Elevation. — With T square project the 
corners a-b-c to the left and measure off the length 
of a side and draw lines i and 6 completing the figure, 
showing the sides 4 and 2. 

Right Side Elevation. — Project corners a-d-c and 
complete figure as for left side elevation, thus showing 
sides 3 and 5. 

Plan or Top View. — Project corners h-d-d upward, 
using the 90° angle, and complete figure as in eleva- 
tions, giving sides 4 — 5. 

Inverted Plan. — Project corners h-c-d downward 
and complete figure by measuring off the length of a 
side on the projected lines, and draw lines 6 and i, 
thus giving view of sides 2 and 3. 

In the foregoing figures or views of the cube all the 
sides are brought into view except side 6. The figure 
being a cube, this side would be exactly the same as 
side I, but should there be some peculiarity in this side, 
such as a depression, it could be shown by making a 
rear elevation, which would be a continuation of the 
projection of either side elevation, which would bring 



PLATE I 




A

into view another square on which would be marked 
the Hnes defining the depression, while its depth would 
be laid off on the elevations and plans, as shown by 
dotted lines. The depression could also be shown by 
dotted lines on front elevation, the fact of the lines 
being dotted indicating that the form shown is behind 
the face or front of the figure. In making a drawing, 
the principal face or view of the object to be repre- 
sented is first drawn, and the other views necessary to 
show the form fully are derived from it and placed in 
the positions that will most clearly show the form re- 
quired. Thus, should it be desired for some reason to 
show a full view of side 3, the lines a-rf and h-c would 
be prolonged or projected, as indicated, and a square 
completed upon these projected lines would be a full 
view of the side. These same methods are followed in 
all the succeeding lessons. For convenience the plan is 
sometimes placed above and sometimes below the ele- 
vation, depending upon what is to be shown, and in all 
cases the most direct method is employed. This should 
be the aim of the draughtsman — to follow the shortest 
method that will fully explain his object. 

Plate 2. Projections of a Rectangular Prism 

AND Cube. 

Fig. I. — A rectangular prism, whose sides or faces are 
each I inch (i") wide and 2 inches (2") long is first 
drawn in end elevation, as shown at a-b-c-d. In this 



case the prism is resting upon one of its faces, and is 
drawn as follows : Draw a circle i" diam., and with T 
square and 90° angle draw the four sides tangent to 
the circle to complete the elevation. 

To draw the plan, project sides a c and b d, in- 
definitely, as indicated by the arrow heads, using 90° 
angle ; with T square draw side e f, in required position, 
from e or f lay off the length 2" as at h, and with T 
square draw g h, completing the plan. To complete an 
elevation showing the other end of the prism, continue 
the projection indefinitely, as indicated, and draw i k 
in desired position ; with i k for radius and i and k as 
centres, draw the arcs at / and in, connect / and in, or 
measure i I equal to i k, and with T square draw / m. 

Fig. 2. — The same prism is shown in end elevation, 
but in this case it is resting upon one edge, with its 
sides placed at the angles of 30° and 60° to the hori- 
zontal. As for Fig. I, first draw a circle of i" diame- 
ter and tangent to this circle draw the four sides of the 
square, using the 30° and 60° angles as indicated. The 
plan is drawn as in Fig. i, except that two sides of the 
prism will show ; therefore the three corners or angles 
will need to be projected as at e, f and g. The elevation 
of the opposite end is drawn exactly as for Fig. i, only 
the 30° and 60° angles are to be used instead of the 90° 
angle. The pupil must clearly fix in his mind the rela- 
tion that each of these views bears to the other, and for 
this purpose should use Plate i to aid him to establish 
this relation.

A MANUAL OF MECHANICAL DRAWING. 



Fig. 3. — A cube resting upon one of its edges with 
sides at angles of 45° to horizontal. In one face of the 
cube is a depression 1" square, -g" deep, while in the 
centre of this depression is a further depression, round 
■|" diameter, y deep, the cube being i^" square on 
each face. 

First draw a circle 1^" diameter and two others i" 
and ^" diameter, respective!)', using the same centre for 
all, or in other words make the circles concentric. 

With 45° angle draw the sides of the cube, also of 
the square depression, making their sides tangent to 
the circles ; this completes the elevation. To draw the 
plan, project the corners or angles, as indicated, and 
measure the length of a side, as shown, and with 
T square draw lines representing the faces. Project 
the angles of the depression and measure its depth from 
the face ^", and draw line defining this depth. Project 
lines tangent to the inner circle, which represents the 
round depression, measuring its depth i" from face of 
cube, and draw with T square the line representing the 
bottom of this depression. As both of these depressions 
are luithin the cube, the lines indicating them would be 
dotted to show that they define something behind the 
surface. 

Plate 3. Projections of the Triangular Prism. 

Fig. i. — A triangular prism, whose sides are all equal, 
and consequently the ends oi which are equilateral tri- 



angles, is to be shown in end and side elevations and in 
plan. 

With T square draw the side b-c of the required 
length, and with b-c as radius and b and c for centres 
sweep arcs intersecting at a, draw a-b and a-c, complet- 
ing the end elevation. Project a and c to the right in- 
definitely, measure a'-j equal tO' length of prism and 
draw a'-c' and j-k to complete the side elevation. 

With c for centre draw arcs c'-c" and k-h and tan- 
gent to these arcs, using T square, draw c" b" and h-g, 
with 90° angle draw or project b-a and c downward, 
connecting b" g, a" I and c" h, completing the plan. 
This method places the side elevation and plan at equal 
distances from the end elevation. If this is not re- 
quired, draw b" c" , as may be necessary; using T 
square, as before, project b-a and c and measure off 
b" g equal to c' k, and with T square draw g-h. 

In the elevation dimension a'-c' does not show the 
true width of the side a-c. With c for centre and c'-a' 
for radius, draw arc cutting a-c at /. The difference 
a-f between a-c and f-c will be amount of the fore- 
shortening, and this will vary, according to the angle 
at which the side a-c may be placed. From this it is 
seen that objects to be represented true to size by pro- 
jection must be represented by views so placed that 
when possible surfaces will be perpendicular to each 
other. This is shown in Fig. 2, which represents a 
triangular prism in end elevation. In one side or face 
of this prism is a depression -^" deep, round bot- 



PLATE 3 




46 



A MANUAL OF MECHANICAL DRAWING. 



tomed f " wide, round at one end and square at the 
other end ; a Hne passing through the centre of this 
depression is -jL" off the centre of the prism. The 
round end of the depression is I" from the end of the 
prism, while the opposite ends are ^" apart. The 
depression is i^s" long, the prism i^" long, and the 
centre from which the round end of depression is drawn 
is ^" from the end of the prism. 

If this were shown on the side elevation of Fig. i, 
all the dimensions of zvidth would be foreshortened, 
and therefore not in true proportion to the length. 

In Fig. 2 the side a-c is projected perpendicularly, 
therefore all the dimensions of zvidth, as well as length, 
can be correctly measured and laid out, while the dotted 
semi-circle in the end elevation defines the form and 
depth of the depression. The end elevation of the 
prism being an equilateral triangle, the side a-c would 
be drawn with the 60° angle ; consequently all lines 
projected with the 30° angle from a-c would be perpen- 
dicular to a-c. With this explanation the pupil should 
be able to work out this lesson. It must not be under- 
stood that all the information given in Fig. 2 cannot 
as well be conveyed by Fig. i. It can, and in the ma- 
jority of cases would be, but in that event all the dimen- 
sions of width would be taken from the end elevation, 
and would not be so clear. There are many cases where 
the method shown in Fig. 2 would be necessary, because 
the forms to be shown would be too intricate to be 
safely shown otherwise. 



In Fig. 3 is given another illustration of the effect of 
foreshortening. In this case all dimensions would be 
taken from the end elevation and plan, as no measure- 
ments could be taken from the side elevation. To draw 
this exercise, first lay out the plan to any required di- 
mensions, and by projecting a-b and c, as indicated by 
the arrow heads, and complete as in Fig. i. Project 
a-b-c-f-j-h and g, using 90° angle, draw a' g\ using T 
square. Make ;' / and /' m each equal to half a-c, with 
radius l-m and / and m for centres, sweep arcs cutting 
at e', through e' and parallel with a' g' draw b' h' , 
draw b' a', b' c', e' f and h' g'. 



Plate 4. Projections of a Cube Standing Upon 
One 01' Its Corners. 

First draw the centre lines of the plan, and on them 
a circle whose diameter is equal to the side of a face, and 
complete the plan by drawing with 45° triangle sides, 
5"— 6", 6"— 5'", 5'"— 4" and 4"— 5". Project corners 
6" — 5" — 4" upwards (using 90° angle), then with 30° 
angle draw 5 — 4 and 5 — 6. Make 5 — 7 equal to 5 — 4, 
with 7 as centre and rad. 5 — 7 draw circle which will 
circumscribe the hexagon representing the cube. With 
30° angle draw i — 2, 2 — 3, 3 — 7, 7 — i, and with 90° 
angle draw i — 6 and 3 — 4. With T square project 
points 2 — 3 — 4 — 5 and 7 to the right. Take point 5' 
on line with 5 — 5' as centre and radius equal to diagonal

6" — 4" in plan, mark off point 7' on line 7 — 7',

line 5' — 7' at its middle 4', draw 4' — 3' per- 
pendicular to 5' — 7' and 2' — 7' and 5' — 7" paral- 
lel to 4' — 3', draw 2' — 7" through 3', thus completing 
the front and side elevations. To draw the fourth 
figure or elevation, project the points 5" — ^4" and 5'" to 
the right, using the T square, then with 90° angle pro- 
ject point 7" to c, 3' to a and produce to /, 2' to b and 
produce to d and g, and 7' to e. Connect c-a, c-f, a-d, 
d-f, a-h, d-e, f-g, b-e and e-g. 

Note. — In all of these lessons the student should use 
the T square for all horizontal lines, and the 90" angles 
for perpendicular or vertical lines; 30°-6o° and 45° 
angles are to be drawn with the 30°-6o° and 45° sides 
of the triangle, using the T square as the base ttpon 
which to guide the triangles. 



Plate 5. Projections of an Hexagonal Prism. 

Draw centre lines A B and c-f. With their inter- 
section g as centre, draw circumscribing circle of re- 
quired diam., then with 60° angle draw c-b, c-d, a-f and 
f-e, and with T square draw b-a and d-e, completing 
the plan. 

With 90° angle project corners c-d-e-f to m-n-o-p, 
and draw base line m-p, lay off from scale the re- 



quired height of prism m-h, and draw h-l, thus com- 
pleting the front elevation. 

Draw side i — 2 of side elevation and produce to in- 
tersect with d-e of plan produced ; through this inter- 
section with 45° angle draw line 7 — 8 — 9, produce b-a 
on c-f until they intersect line 7 — 8 at 9 and 8. With 
90° angle project points of intersection 8 and 9 to 3 — 4. 
and 5 — 6, and with T square draw i — 5 and 2 — 6 con- 
tinuations of h-l and m-r, completing side elevation. 

Now suppose it necessary to draw a side elevation 
inclined toward observer and at an angle of 60° to the 
horizontal. With the 30° angle project the angles or 
corners of the upper and lower faces of the front ele- 
vation until they intersect a line C d drawn at the angle 
of 60° to the horizontal. Through C draw C E perp. 
and F T horizontal.' With C as centre sweep arcs H I, 
J K, L M, N O, P O, R S and D E, thus transferring 
the points from C D to C E. Lay off C G, G T equal 
to 2 — 4, 4 — 6, and through C, G and T draw indefinite 
perpendiculars. With T square project C, M, O and 
E to G, M', O' and E', and I, K, Q and S to I', K', 
Q' and S'. Connect these points, as shown in plate, 
completing the inclined front elevation. To transfer 
the dimensions of width in the plan to the side eleva- 
tion, a second method is shown in which the compass is 
used as indicated by the dotted arcs. Any convenient 
point can be used for the centre from which to sweep 
these arcs, as at 5 ; the arcs must be drawn tangent to 
the lines projected from a, f and e of the plan.

Draw centre line A B, at angle of 60° to the hori- 
zontal or 30° from the vertical, using 60° side of tri- 
angle, and upon it draw a circle of a size to circum- 
scribe the hexagonal base of the pyramid. With 30° 
and 90° angles draw diameters D G, E H and C F ; also 
with the same angles draw sides C D, D E, E F, F G, 
G H and H C. This completes the plan. Project C D, 
H E and G F to the left indefinitely, using 30° angle, 
and with 60° angle project the angles or corners E, F, 
G and H of the plan downward and parallel with 
centre line A B to I, J, K and L, and with 30° angle 



draw base line I L perpendicular to A B. Measure 
off the height of the pyramid along the centre line from 
B to M, and draw M I, M J, M K, M L, completing 
the side elevation. With 30° angle project angles D, 
E and F indefinitely to the left, and with U as centre 
draw indefinite arcs and with 90° angle draw tangent 
to these arcs indefinite lines to P, O and Q. With T 
square project points I, J, K and L horizontally inter- 
secting the vertical lines at T, R, S, P, Q and O: 
Draw T R, R P, P O, O Q, Q S and S T. With 90° 
angle draw indefinitely O N. With T square project 
the vertex of the pyramid to the left, intersecting O N 
at N. Draw N R, N P, N Q, N S. The sides R T

With 60° angle draw centre line A B, and at right 
angles to A B, using 30° angle, draw centre line C D. 
With O as centre and radius equal to half diam. of 
cylinder draw circle A C W D. This will be the plan of 
the cylinder. 

With 30°-6o° and 90° angles divide the semi-circum- 
ference into six equal parts, C E, E F, F W, W G, G H, 
H D, and with 60° angle project points C, E, F, G, H 
and D downward indefinitely, and with 30^** angle draw 
base line J P. Measure oflf centre line B S equal to 
height of cylinder and draw P S V, completing side 
elevation. 

At suitable distance to the right of side elevation 
draw centre line A' B', and on it draw a sem.i-circle 
with radius equal to O C, and with 30°-6o° angles and 



T square divide into six equal parts as indicated i:~ 
dotted lines on front elevation at i, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 
through these points draw with 90" angle indefinite 
lines parallel with A' B'. Now with T square project 
points P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and J, L, M, B, N, O, P 
to the right, intersecting the lines drawn through i, 2, 
3, etc. These intersections are points in a curved line 
forming an ellipse, which should be lightly and 
smoothly drawn in by hand and afterwards drawn 
firmly by means of irregular curves. This completes 
the front elevation. This and the following lessons 
show curves developed by intersecting lines, and all 
make the use of the irregular (sometimes called French 
curves) necessary, and the student should endeavor to 
acquire skill in using them. As an aid to the fitting of 
the curves to the points the lines should be sketched in 
freehand, but lightly.

Plate 8. Conic Sections — The Parabola. 



The parabola is a curve which is formed by a 
plane which cuts a cone in a line parallel with one of 
its sides, and is a curve of which any point is equally 
distant from a fixed point, called its focus, and from a 
given straight line called the directrix. (See Fig. 14, 
Plate II.) 

To develop the parabola from a cone: 

Draw the centre lines A B and C D. With their 
point of intersection O for centre and radius equal to 
radius of the base of the cone draw the circle, A C J D, 
which will be the plane of the cone. 

With 30°-6o° and 90° angles divide the base into 
six equal parts, as i, 2, 3, etc. 

Lay off distance J B equal to height of cone, and 
through B draw E F, making B E equal to O C and 
B F equal to O D, and draw J E and J F to complete 
side elevation of cone. 

Project points i, 2, 3 upon the base E F as i', 2', 3', 
and draw lines Ji', J2', J3'. Draw G H parallel with 



J F. G H represents the cutting plane. Perdendicu- 
lar to G H and from the points of intersection of G H 
with the lines drawn from the vertex J of the cone to 
its base E F, draw the indefinite lines, a, b, c, d, e, f, 
and at L draw L K parallel with G H. 

Returning to the plan : through the centre O draw 
the diameters from points i, 2, 3, etc., and onto these 
diameters project the points of intersection of G H 
with Ji', J2', J3', as shown at gg', hh', J J', etc. These 
points are points through which the plan of the para- 
bola is to be drawn, and all are determined by the in- 
tersections of the lines, except O J and O J'. Where 
the plane G H intersects the centre line J B of the cone 
draw M N parallel with the base, JJ' is equal to M N. 

To complete the elevation of the parabola, with the 
compasses transfer the distances gg', hh', etc., to 44', 
55', etc., laying out equally each side of K L on the 
lines a, b, c, etc. Through the points thus found draw 
the curve.

Plates 9 and 10. The Hyperbola. 
If a cone ABC (Fig. 10), of which A C is the base, 
is cut by a plane J K, parallel with but not through its 
axis, B G, and perpendicular to its base, the outline of 
the section thus obtained will be an open curve called a 
hyperbola, and shown by N J O (Fig. 11). 

If two cones (ABC and D B E, Fig. 10) are placed 
so that their apexes join, and if 
their axes, B G, B F, are in the 
same straight line, and they are 
K cut by the same plane, H I L J K, 
parallel with F B G, the sec- 
tions thus obtained will form two 
hyperbolas, N J O and P I O, as 
shown in Fig. 11, which are 
called the branches of the hy- 
perbola. I and J are the ver- 
tices of the curves, and the line I J, the distance be- 
tween the vertices, is the transverse axis. This is the 
same as I J in Fig. 10, and has been defined as that part 

of the axis which, if continued, 
would join an opposite cone. The 
congregate axis, L M, is a line 
drawn through the transverse 
axis and at right angles to it. It 
is equal to twice the distance L B 
(Fig. 10), of the intersecting 
plane I J, from the axis of the 
cone from which the cone is pro-

duced. R R' (Fig. 11) are the foci of the two curves, 
and B, midway between I and J, is called the centre of 
the curve. The nature of the hyperbola is such that the 
difference of the distances of any point in the curve, ' 
from the foci, is always the same, and is equal to the 
transverse axis I J. Thus, if from the point i we draw 
lipes I R and i R' to the foci R and R', then the 
difference of the length of these lines will be equal 
to I J. 

Plate 9. — Given the transverse and conjugate axes, 
to find the foci of an hyperbola: 

Let I J (Fig. 12) be the transverse axis of two 
branches of an hyperbola. The ends of the axis will 
coincide with the vertices of the two curves. From J 
erect J U, a perpendicular to I J, and make it equal to 
half the conjugate axis, or to the distance L B (Fig. 
10), of the intersecting plane from the axis of the cone. 
Then from B (Fig. 12), the middle of I J as a centre, 
and with B U as radius, describe the circle U R V R', 
cutting I J extended at R and R', which will be the foci 
of the hyperbola. 

The transverse and conjugate axes being given, to 
lay off an hyperbola: 

Draw I J (Fig. 12) equal to the transverse axis. 
Find the foci R R', as explained above. From R and R' 
lay oflF any number of points, i, 2, 3, etc., i', 2', 3', etc., 
at equal distances from R and R' respectively. Then 
with radii I i, I 2, I 3, etc., and from the foci as centres, 
describe arcs cutting each other at a, b, c, etc., and

through which it may be drawn. 

Fig. 13. — To drazv an hyperbola when its length B C, 
its breadth D E, and transverse axis A B are given: 

Construct the parallelogram D E F G and subdivide 
its sides G D and E F and each of the ordinates, C D 
and C E, into the same number of equal parts, i, 2, 3, 
etc., and i', 2', 3', etc. From A draw lines to i, 2, 3, 
etc., and B draw lines to i', 2', 3', etc. ; where these lines 



cut those drawn from A to E D will be points through 
which the curve can be drawn. 

Plate id. — The purpose of this plate is to show how 
the hyperbola is derived from the cone, and the method 
of procedure is exactly the same as explained in Plate 
8 for the parabola. All reference letters and figures 
and particular explanation are omitted, and the student 
is expected to develop the curve as indicated in the 
plate without the aid of explanations.

Plate ii. The Parabola. 

Fig. 14. — The length A B and breadth C D being 
given, to draw a parabola: 

Draw A B to the given length and produce beyond 
A and B, draw C D perpendicular to A B through B, 
making C B and B D equal to half the given breadth. 
Bisect the ordinate C B and draw A E, and at right 
angles to A E draw E F. Make A G and A J each 
equal to B F. G is the focus of the parabola, and H I 
drawn through J is the directrix. Divide A B into 
spaces as 1,2, 3, etc., making spaces or intervals short- 
est near the vertex, and draw i, i', 2, 2', 3, 3', etc., 
perpendicular to A B. Take distance i J in compass, 
and with the focus as centre sweep arc cutting ordinate 
i-i' at i'. In like manner take distance of each ordinate 
from the directrix, and with focus as centre sweep arcs 
cutting the ordinates at 2', 3', 4', etc. These will be 
points in the curve which can be drawn through them. 



Fig. 15. — Length and breadth being given, to draiv 
the parabola: 

Construct the parallelogram F E C D. Subdivide 
the ordinates B C and B D into any number of equal 
parts ; also divide F C and E D into a like number of 
equal parts. From A draw lines A i', A 2', A 3', etc., 
and from B D and B C draw from points i, 2, 3, etc., 
lines parallel with A B and cutting the lines drawn to 
i', 2', 3', etc. These will be points in the curve through 
which it may be drawn. 

Fig. 16. — Another method. Length A B and breadth 
C D being given. Produce A B, making A E equal 
to A B ; draw E C and E D, and draw 4' — 4 through A 
and parallel to C D. Divide E 4 and D 4 into the same 
number of equal parts, likewise E 4' and C 4', and draw 
lines 1-7', 2-6', 3-5', 5-3', etc. The curve will be 
tangent to these lines as shown.

Plates 12 and 13. The Ellipse. 

If a cylinder or cone be cut by a plane at an angle 
to its axis, the outline of the curve obtained will be 
an Ellipse. 

In Plate 12 is shown a cylinder E F G H cut by the 
plane J K. To develop the ellipse : 

Draw the centre lines A B and C D perpendicular 
to each other, and with their point of intersection O 
as centre draw the circle CAD equal in diameter to 
the required cylinder, this will be the plane. Project 
the points C and D indefinitely to G and H. Draw 
G H perpendicular to A B, and measure G E the re- 
quired height of the cylinder. Draw E F parallel with 
G H, completing the elevation of the cylinder. Draw 
J K at any required angle to represent the cutting plane. 



With the 30°-6o° and 90° angles divide the circle 
CAD into equal parts, as at i, 2, 3, 4, and project 
these points upon the elevation, as at i-i', 2-2', etc. 
From points of intersection of J K and the lines i-i', 
2-2', etc., draw the indefinite lines a, b, c, d, etc., and 
parallel with J K draw L M. With the intersection of 
lines g and L M as centre and radius equal to O C 
draw semi-circle i" M 4", and subdivide into equal 
parts as i", 2", M-3"-4", corresponding with points 
I, 2, 3, etc. From these points and parallel with L M 
draw lines, intersecting lines a, b, c, d, etc. These 
points of intersection will be points in the ellipse. 

The cone treated in the same way as above would 
likewise develop the ellipse.

short diameters are given: 

Fig. 17. — Draw the concentric circles A B C D and 
E F G H equal, respectively, to the long and short 
diameters. Divide these circles into any number of 
equal parts, and draw diameters as I M, J N, etc. 
Where these diameters intersect the circles draw hori- 
zontal and vertical lines, as J 2, J' 2 and K 3, K' 3, etc. 
These points, 1-2-3-4, etc., will be points in the ellipse, 
which can be drawn through them. 

Fig. 18. — Another method. Draw rectangle whose 
sides, A D and B C, are equal to the long diameter, 
and A B and C D are equal to the short diameter of 
the required ellipse. Draw centre lines, F H and E G. 
Divide centre line F H into any number of equal parts, 
as O 3, 3-2, 2-1, etc. Also divide the short sides into 
the same number of equal parts, as A 3', 3'-2', 2'-i', 
etc. From G draw lines through points 1-2-3, ^tc, and 
from E draw lines to i', 2', 3', etc., and cutting the lines 
drawn from G. The intersections of these lines will 
give points in the curve. 



Fig. 19. — To drazv an ellipse whose axes are oblique: 
Construct the parallelogram whose sides are parallel

The ellipses given on Plates 12 and 13 are true 
ellipses, such as would be developed from either a 
cylinder or cone cut by a plane. Many times an ap- 
proximate ellipse, which can be drawn directly by 
means of the compass, will meet all requirements. Four 
methods are given on Plate 14.

Draw centre lines A B and C D. With their inter- 
section O as centre describe a circle whose diameter is 
equal to the large end of the oval. From D draw D E 
and produce to F, likewise from C draw C E and pro- 
duce to G. With C as centre and radius C D draw the 
arc D G, and with D as centre and radius D C draw 
the arc C F. Then with E as centre and radius E F 
draw arc F B G, completing the oval.

Plate 14. Approximate Ellipses. 



To drazu an approximate ellipse with compass, the 
major axis only being given: 

First Method. Fig. i. 

Draw A B equal to given length, divide into four 
equal parts A C, C D, D E and E B. With C and E 
for centres and radius C E draw intersecting arcs at 
F and G. From F and G through C and E draw in- 
definite lines G H, G I, F J and F K. 

With C and E as centres and radius C A draw arcs 
J A H and I B K, and with F and G as centres and 
radius G H draw arcs H I and J K. 

Second Method. Fig. 2. 

This is an ellipse of different proportion from those 
by the first method. 

Draw A B equal to the given length and divide into 
four equal parts, as A F, F E, E G and G B. Through 
E draw C D perpendicular to A B and make E H and 
E I equal to E F and E G. From H and I through 
F and C draw indefinite lines I K and I L and H J 
and H M. With F and G as centres and radius F A 
draw arcs K A J and L B M, and with I and H for 
centres and radius I K draw arcs K C L and J D M. 

Third Method. Fig. 3. 
To draw an approximate ellipse from four centres 
when both major and minor axes are given: 



Draw A B and C D perpendicular to and bisecting 
each other at O. Draw A E parallel with D C and 
E C parallel with A B. Bisect A E in F and draw 
F C. Draw E D cutting F C in G. With G and C as 
centres and any radius greater than half of C G draw 
intersecting arcs at H and 1. From H through I draw 
line cutting C D at K. This line will be perpendicular 
to and will bisect G C. Draw G K cutting A B at M, 
and make O N equal to O M. Make O L equal to O K, 
and from I and K through M and N draw indefinite 
lines L P, L R and K O. With M and N as centres 
and radius M A draw arcs GAP and Q B R, and with 
centres at L and K and radius K G draw arcs G C Q 
and P D R. 

Fourth Method. Fig. 4. 

Giving different proportions from those by third 
method: 

Draw A B and C D perpendicular to and bisecting 
each other at O. Make O E equal to O C, and make 
O F and O G equal to A E. Draw F G and bisect at 
H. Make F I equal to F H. Make O K, O J and O L 
equal to O I. From K and L through I and J draw 
indefinite lines K O, K P, L M and L N. With I and J 
as centres and I A as radius draw arcs M A Q and 
N B P, and with K and L as centres and radius K Q 
draw arcs Q D P and M N C.

centres: 

Draw centre line A B, and on it mark the centres 

1 and 2, whose distance apart shall be equal to one-half 
the distance between the turns of the spiral. With i 
for centre and radius 1-2 sweep the semi-circle 2-3 ; 
then with 2 as centre and radius 2-3 sweep the semi- 
circle 3-4, and proceed in this way, using centres i and 

2 alternately. 

Fig. 22. — To draw an approximate spiral from three 
centres: 

Lay out an equilateral triangle whose sides are equal 
in length to one-third the distance between the turns of 
the spiral. Produce indefinitely the sides as i A, 2 B, 

3 C. With I as centre and 1-3 as radius draw the arc 
3-4, and with 2 as centre and 2-4 as radius draw the 
arc 4-5, and with 3 as centre and radius 3-5 draw arc 
5-6, etc. 

Fig. 23. — To draw an approximate spiral from four 
centres: 



Lay out a square whose sides will each be one-fourth 
the distance between the turns of the spiral, produce 
the sides as i-A, 2-B. 3-C, etc., and proceed as in previ- 
ous examples, using the angles as centres, but starting 
the spiral with radius equal to half the diagonal of the 
square, or the side of the square may be used as the 
first radius. 

Fig. 24. — To drazv a true spiral: 

Draw a circle whose diameter is equal to the sweep 
of the spiral when revolved upon its centre, and divide 
it into as many equal parts as may be desired, and draw 
diameters 1-7, 2-8, 3-9, etc. Divide one semi-diameter 
or radius into as many equal parts as for the circle, as 
l'-2'-3'-4', etc. With compass in o and radius o-i' 
sweep an arc cutting radius i, with radius 0-2' sweep 
an arc cutting radius 2, with radius 0-3' sweep an arc 
cutting radius 3, and so on until all the points on the 
radius 12 have been used as radii for the arcs which 
cut the radii of the circumscribing circle. These inter- 
sections, a, h, c, d, etc., will be points through which the 
spiral can be drawn.

In Plate i6 is given a practical application of the 
approximate spiral drawn from four centres. This 
drawing shows the case of a blower. The centres from 
which the outer curve is drawn are 4" apart, 2" each 
side of the centre line of the blower case. The curve of 
the case ends at A, but is continued to B by the dotted 
line, to show that the distance between the turns of the 
spiral is just 4 times the distance between the centres 
from which they are drawn. 

The 3-centre spiral could be used for this same 
purpose, and is sometimes so used, but the resulting 



form of the case is not so well adapted to the purpose 
for which these blowers — that of moving air — are used. 
The same objection holds good with reference to the 
2-centre spiral. The draughtsman, however, finds 
numerous applications for all of these spirals in de- 
veloping odd curves that are required in his everyday 
work. 

In Fig. 27, Plate 16, is given a practical application 
of the true spiral in the development of the spiral or 
heart cam.

Plate 17. The Involute. 

Fig. 25. — If a string be wound around a circular 
block and a pencil be attached to the free end, the block 
being held to a plane surface, the pencil will, if held 
taut, and the string unwound, describe a curve called 
the involute of a circle, generally called the involute 
curve. 

About the centre A describe the required circle and 
divide it into any number of equal parts, o-i, 1-2, 2-3, 
etc. ; draw radii to these points, and to these radii draw 
tangents i-i', 2-2', 3-3', etc. Make one of these 
tangents 0-12 equal to the circumference of the circle 
A, and divide it into as many equal parts as was the 
circle. On tangent i-i' lay off one of these spaces, on 
tangent 2-2' two, on tangent 3-3' three, and so on until 
all of the tangents have been divided up or measured 
off, each succeeding tangent one space longer than the 
one preceding it. Through these points, i'-2'-3'-4' , etc., 
the curve may be drawn. 

Plate 17 is introduced to illustrate a practical ap- 
plication of the involute curve to laying out the single 
curve, or involute gearing. As will be seen, but a 
small portion of the curve is employed — the beginning 
of the curve. This is shown in the lower corner of the 
plate. 

In connection with the gear is shown a rack in 



"mesh." The rack is a straight gear, that is, the teeth, in- 
stead of being spaced around the periphery of a wheel, 
are equally spaced along a straight bar, and is employed 
to convert the rotary motion of the wheel into rec- 
tilinear motion, or the reverse. In the case of gear 
wheels the curve begins from an imaginary circle shown 
by dash and two dots, the other portion of the tooth 
being completed by radial lines. 

This plate is not introduced as a lesson in drawing 
gear teeth, but merely as an illustration of one of the 
applications of the involute curve in practice. 

Fig. 26. — To draw a three-centred cam: 

Lay off an equilateral triangle and continue the sides 
as shown, using the angles as centres from which to 
describe the curves of the cam, as follows : 

From A with radius A It describe the arc h d; from 
C with radius C d draw d f ; from B with radius B / 
draw / /; from A with radius A / draw i e ; from C with 
radius C e draw e g, and from B with radius B g draw 
g h. The centres A, B and C are not necessarily ar- 
ranged in the form of an equilateral triangle ; their po- 
sitions will be determined by the circumstances for 
which the cam is to be used. Such a cam has the 
property that any two parallel lines drawn tangent to it 
will always be the same distance apart. (See lines i'-2 
and 5-6; also 3-4 and 7-8.)

Plate i8. The Spiral Cam. 

Fig. 27 represents a cam whose outline is formed of 
two spirals. It possesses the property of imparting a 
uniform motion to a reciprocating piece of machinery. 

To lay ovit a spiral cam: ' 

Let ABC represent the hub of the cam and C D its 
stroke. Divide the circle A C B into a certain number 
of equal parts, say 12, and draw radial lines through 
the centre and extend them indefinitely. Next divide 
the stroke C D into half the number of equal parts, as 
in this instance 6, Nos. i, 2, 3, 4, etc. From the centre 
E with radius E i draw an arc cutting the radii l' and 
11'; from same centre with radius E 2 draw an arc 



cutting the radial lines 2' and 10' ; from E with radius 
E 3 draw an arc cutting the radial lines 3' and 9'. 
Continue this until all the radial lines have been marked 
oiif. Through the points thus measured the right and 
left curves may be drawn. The curve will begin at o 
and end at 6. Now suppose that the reciprocating part 
touches at o the beginning of the curve, it will have 
completed its stroke when the cam has made half a 
revolution, bringing the point 6 opposite the reciprocat- 
mg part or piece of the machine in which the cam is 
employed. From this it will be seen that the reciprocat- 
ing piece will make one-sixth of its stroke while the 
cam is moving through one-twelfth of its revolution.

Plate 19. The Cycloid. 
The Cycloid is a curve which is described by any 
point in the circumference of wheel rolling on a straight 

line. 

' In Fig. 28 let o-3'-6'-9' be a circle or wheel rolling on 
the straight line 0-12, equal in length to the circumfer- 
ence of the wheel. In rolling from o to 12 the point o 
in the circumference of the wheel will describe the 
curve ab c d, etc. The circle o, 3', 6', 9' is called the 
generating circle, and the point in the circle which 
describes the cycloid is the generator. The straight line 
on which the circle rolls is the director, and the line / 6 
is the axis of the cycloid. 

To lay off a cycloid for a zvheel of any size: 
Draw the generating circle of the required diameter, 
next tangent to it draw the director o, 12, making it 
equal in length to the circumference of the generating 
circle. Draw o", 12" through the centre of the circle 
and parallel with 0-12. Divide the generating circle 
into an even number of equal parts, as o, i', 2', 3', etc. ; 
draw the chords o-i i', o-io', 0-9', 0-8' , 0-7' , 0-6' . Now 
divide the director into the same number of equal parts 
as is the generating circle, and draw the perpendiculars, 
i-i", 2-2", 3-3", etc. With i", 2", 3", etc., as centres 
and radius equal to radius of generating circle sweep 



arcs I a,2b,zc, etc., then with compasses set to length 
of chord o-ii' mark off points a and k from i and 11 ; 
likewise mark off b and / from 2 and 10, and so on until 
all the arcs have been measured off. These points, a b 
c d, etc., will be points in the cycloid. 

The Epicycloid (Fig. 29) is a curve .vhich is de- 
scribed by any point in the circumference of a wheel 
which is rolling on the outside of a curved line. The 
process for laying out this curve is the same as for the 
cycloid, except that the lines which intersect the centre 
line of the generating circle, and giving the centres 
from which the arcs are drawn, are radial lines drawn 
from the same centre as the director, the line of centres 
being a curve concentric with the director. 

The arc of the director over which the generating 
circle rolls must be equal in length to the circumfer- 
ence of the generating circle. As it is somewhat dififi- 
cult to get this length correctly, an approximate method, 
as follows, may be employed : 

Divide the generating circle in equal parts, just as 
was done in the case of the cycloid ; subdivide one of 
these parts into a number of small parts and space off 
on the director the same number of these small sub- 
divisions. If this is carefully done the error is not ap- 
preciable.

Plate 20. The Hypocycloid. The method of drawing this curve is the same as 

This is a curve which is described by any point in the that employed in drawing the epicycloid. A lengthy 

circumference of a wheel which is rolling on the inside description would only be a repetition of what has been 

of a curved line. said in regard to the cycloid and epicycloid. 



PLATE 20

A MANUAL OF MECHANICAL DRAWING. 



In Plate 21 is given an illustration of the application 
of the epicycloid and the hypocycloid to the drawing of 
cyclodial gear teeth. The generating circle is rolled on 
the outside and inside of the "director," which in this 
instance is the imaginary or pitch circle of the wheel. 
Only a small portion at the beginning of each curve is 
employed, as is clearly shown. In laying out a number 
of gear wheels which are to run together the same 
generating circle would be xised for all of them, no 
matter how they may vary in size. Should different 



generating circles be employed the wheels would not 
fit each other, because the curve developed varies with 
the size of the generating circle. This can be proven 
by using two different generating circles for developing 
the curves and then fitting the curves together. 

In laying out a rack to work with a train of gears, the 
generating circles would be rolled on both sides of a 
straight line, thus developing the cycloid for both 
curves of the tooth — that is, above and below the pitch 
line.

Plate 22. • 
The Prolate Cycloid. — If the tracing point be within 
the circumference of the generating circle, the curve 
described by this point while the generating circle rolls 
on a straight line is called the prolate cycloid. This is 
the curve which is described by the centre of the crank 
pin of a locomotive when the driving wheel rolls upon 
the rails. The director is equal in length to the cir- 
cumference of the generating circle, and the sub- 
divisions are equal in number and length to those of 
the generating circle. The path of the generating point, 
if the wheel did not advance during its revolution, 
would be the small circle (Fig. 30), which is drawn 
inside the generating circle. It is subdivided to cor- 
respond with the subdivisions of the generating circle 
by radial lines drawn from the centre to the outer cir- 
cumference. The arcs and chords by which the points 
in the prolate cycloid are obtained are taken from the 
smaller circle, and are marked off exactly as for the 
cycloid, all of which is clearly given in Fig. 30. 



The Curtate Cycloid (Fig. 31) is a curve which is 
described by a tracing point which is without the gen- 
erating circle. 

The process of laying out this curve is clearly shown 
in Fig. 31, and is just the same as for the prolate, 
cycloid (Fig. 30), except that the inner circle is the 
generating circle, while the outer one is the path of the 
tracing point if it did not advance during its revolution. 
In Fig. 30 another method of getting at the points in 
the curve is given. Instead of transferring the chords 
of the arcs by means of the compass, lines are drawn 
through the points in the circumference and parallel 
with the director. Where these lines intersect the 
vertical lines draAvn from the dividing points in the 
director, points will be found through which to draw the 
curve. This method may be employed for the cycloid 
and the prolate cycloid. In the case of the epicycloid 
and the hypocycloid, these lines would be drawn from 
the same centre as the director.

Plate 23. The Helix. 

Cut from a piece of thin paper, 
the right-angled triangle, C x^ B 
(Fig. 32), having its base or side, 
A B, i^ inches long and the side, 
A C, 3.1416 inches long. If this 
triangle be wound around a 
cylinder one inch in diameter, with 
its side A B parallel with the axis 
G H of the cylinder (Fig. 33), the 
angle C will meet the angle A, and 
the hypothenuse will trace the line 
C D E F B, which line is called the 
helix. Or if the point C (Fig. 33) 
be moved at a uniform speed ij 
inches in a straight line, the 
cylinder at the same time 
making one revolution at a 
uniform rate of speed, the 
result of the two move- 
ments would be a line 
which would correspond 
^^' exactly with the line 

traced by the hypothenuse of the triangle. The dis- 
tance A B which the point C mpves during one revo- 




FiG. 32. 




lution of the cylinder is called the pitch, or lead, of the 
helix, and corresponds with the pitch of the ordinary 
screw-thread of a bolt. 

To draw a helix, the pitch and diameter being given : 

Draw the centre line E F (Fig. 34), draw semi- 
circle C F D equal in diameter tO' the required helix, 
draw C D and project C and D indefinitely parallel 
with E F. Divide semi-circle into any number of equal 
points, as i, 2, 3, 4, and project these points parallel 
with E F indefinitely. Lay off B D equal to the re- 
quired lead and divide into twice as many equal parts 
as used for the semi-circle, as i', 2', 3', 4', etc. ; pro- 
ject these points upon i, 2, 3, etc., produced as at a-b-c, 
etc. ; these intersections give points through which the 
helix may be drawn. In Fig. 34 the pitch, or lead, is 
laid of¥ on a line parallel with B D, but this is not 
necessary, as the subdivisions can be made upon either 
A C, B D or the centre line E F. 

To drazv a helical spring: 

Fig. 35. — Draw the helix as in Fig. 34, which would 
be the centre line of the spring. On this centre line 
draw small circles equal in diameter to the rod from 
which the spring is made, and draw lines tangent to 
these circles, as shown. The helix in Fig. 35 is finer 
than in Fig. 34.

Plate 24. The Helix. 

To draw a V-thread screw: 

Draw centre line A B (Fig. 36), and on it draw 
semi-circle equal in diameter to the outside diameter of 
the screw. Subdivide and project the points, as in 
Fig. 32, lay off G H equal to pitch of thread, and sub- 
divide as before. With 30° angle draw E K and J K. 
Take distance K L in compasses, and with this for 
radius and O for centre draw circle M N P, which will 
be equal to the diameter at the bottom of the thread. 
Project the points from G H upon the lines drawn from 
points in the outer diameter of the screw and complete 
E Q of the helix. Now take G H in the dividers and 
point off on the lines from the outside diameter as 
many threads as are required ; liaving drawn lines of the 
helix through these points, with the 30° angle draw in 
the sides of the threads. In the same way project the 
points from the inner circle and draw in the curves of 
the helix representing the bottom of the thread. 

Fig. 35. — To drazt a square-threaded screw: 

Draw circles representing the outside and inside 
diameters and draw the helix as A B, and on the lines 



projected from the circle which represents the diameter 
point off the thickness of the thread and the spaces 
between them, and through these points draw the curves 
of the helix, connecting the alternate curves by straight 
lines, as shown. Having completed the outer curves 
and the tops of the threads, draw the curves of lines 
representing the root of bottom of the thread. The 
square thread usually is made equal in depth to the face 
or width, and the space between the threads equal to 
the width. The thread may be considered as a square 
bar wound around a cylinder, the bar advancing as it is 
wound, so that the space between the coils will be equal 
to the width of the bar. The square thread is not al- 
ways of this proportion, being sometimes shallower ; 
also, the space may be either greater or less than the 
width of the thread, depending altogether upon the 
work to be done by it. 

The V or common thread may be considered as a 
triangular bar wound around a cylinder, but the edges 
of the bar are in contact. 

Both square and V threads are made either double or 
treble, etc., depending upon the speed of advance or 
lead required for each revolution.

Plate 30. Intersection of Tzvo Cylinders of Equal 
Diameter at Angle of 90°, and De- 
velopment of Envelope. 

Draw centre lines A B and C D at right angles, and 
with their intersection as centre draw circle ACE 
equal in diameter to the required cylinders. Project 
points A, C, O and P, as indicated in Plate 24, and G H 
and J K, completing side elevation of cylinders, with the 
exception of the line of intersection. The two cylinders 
being of equal diameter, and placed at the angle of 90°, 
the line of intersection will be a straight line drawn 
from F to L. To demonstrate the correctness of this 
statement, divide the circle into any number of equal 
parts (twelve in this instance), and through these 
points draw lines parallel with the centre lines. These 
lines will intersect in points which will be points in the 
line of intersection of the two cylinders. 



To lay out the flat sheets or envelopes which when 
rolled up into tubes would, when joined, form the right- 
angled elbow. Draw line M N and make it equal in 
length to the circumference of one of the cylinders. 
Divide into as many equal parts as was the circle ACE, 
and through these points, at I, 2, 3, etc., draw lines 
perpendicular to M N. Take distance i', 2', in com- 
passes and step or mark it off on each side of point 6, 
as 6, 2", 6-2"'. Next take i'-t,' and step it off each 
side of point 6, as 6-3", 6-3"', and so on until all the 
points have been transferred to each side of point 6. 
Now transfer point 4"' to M and N, 3'" to i and 11, 2'" 
to 2 and 10, 6 to 3 and 9, 2" to 4 and 8, 3" to 5 and 7. 
A curve drawn through these points will be the de- 
veloped intersection of the cylinders. 

Note. — When the cylinders are of equal diameter 
the line of intersection will be a straight line, no matter 
what may be the angle at which the cylinders meet.

Plate 31. To Lay Out an Elbozv of Several Sections 
and to Develop a Section. 

Draw the right angle A O, O E. With O for centre 
and O A equal to the outer radius of elbow draw arc 
A B C D E, and from same centre and radius O F, 
equal to inner radius of elbow, draw arc F G H J K. 

Divide outer arc into as many equal parts as elbow is 
to have sections, and from centre O draw radial lines 
to the points of division, as B C D. Complete the 
straight sections A F N Q and E K L M if they are 
required. This will complete the side elevation. 

To lay out one of the sections: 

On L M with centre O' draw semi-circle L R M and 
divide into equal parts, as 1,2, 3, 4. Parallel with E L 
draw I'-i, 2'-2, etc. With D and E for centres and 
radius greater than half of D E sweep intersecting arcs 



S, draw S O, parallel with D E draw link I'-i", 2'-2", 
etc. 

Draw a b and make it equal to circumference of pipe 
or elbow, or twice L R M, and divide it into twice as 
many equal parts as L R M, and draw lines at the 
points of division perpendicular to a b. 

Make lines at a and b each equal to J K, at i and 1 1 
each equal to 4'-4", and so on, finally making 6 equal 
to D E. These should be taken from S O and laid off 
on each side of a b. Through the extremities of these 
lines curves are to be drawn, which will be the de- 
veloped lines of intersection of the sections. If the 
several sections are cut out of the sheet and rolled up 
and joined together they will form the elbow. In these 
exercises no allowance is made for laps for joining. 
The additional material for this purpose is added to one 
side and one end of the developed section, according to 
requirements of construction.

Plate 34. To Draw a Hemispherical Dome and to 
Develop in the Flat Sheet the Sections. 
Let C A D be the side elevation of the dome and 
E B F the plan. 

Divide the arc A C into any number of equal parts 
and draw lines through the points of division and 
parallel with the base C D, as 5'-i4', 6'-i5' , etc. 

Divide the circumference in the plan into as many 
equal parts as there are to be sections in the dome, and 
draw diameters as at i, 2, 3, etc., and draw also in the 
plans circles equal in diameter to the sphere at 5'- 14', 
6'-i5', etc. Where these circles intersect the diameters 
are points, as i, 5, 6, etc., which are to be projected 
upon the lines in the elevation, as i', 5', 6', etc. These 
points, i', 2', 3', 4' and 5', 8', 11', 14', etc., are points 
through which curves are to be drawn representing the 
sections of the dome in elevation. 

To lay out one of the sections: 



Draw J K, making it equal to the arc A C, and divide 
it into the same number of equal parts as was the arc 
A C, and through the points of division draw a b, c d, 
e f, etc. Make a b equal to the arc 2, 3, c J equal to 
the arc 8, 11, and so on until all the lines are measured 
off, and through the extremities a, c, e, etc., draw 
curves to complete the figure, which will be the desired 
section of the dome. 

Another method : Make J K equal to the arc A C, 
and through K draw a b at right angles to J K, making 
a b equal to the arc 2, 3, and on it with K for centre 
draw semi-circle a j b, whose diameter is equal to the 
length of arc 2, 3. Divide this semi-circle into as 
many equal parts as was the arc A C, and through the 
points of division draw lines parallel with a b, cutting 
the semi-circle in points a, c', e', etc., and project these 
points upon the lines c d, e f, g h. Through the points 
c e g ] and d f h ] draw curves.

Begin by laying out adjacent rectangles to repre- 
sent the sides 1-2-3-4, adjoining a square representing 
the bottom and another the top. In the plan is shown 
the cutting plane a & in the envelope. Make a'-h' equal 
to a b. Make c'-d' equal to c d, and f'-g' equal to / g. 



Connect a'-b', c'-d' and f'-g'. Make d'-e' equal to 
d'-f, and /'- e' equal to a'-b'. 

To develop a hexagonal prism which is cut by a plane 
at an angle with its axis, follow the same method as 
given for the square prism, taking note that the 
hexagon to make the oblique face is elongated more or 
less, depending upon the angle of the face.

Sections, Isometrical Projection and Shop Drawings. 



Plate 36. — A cube standing upon a corner, its bot- 
tom face at an angle of 45° with the horizontal, and cut 
by a vertical plane. To lay out the cube and develop 
the section : 

Fig. 40. — Draw A B with 45° angle, and at right 
angles to it draw B D and A F, making A B equal to 
the diagonal of the square side of the cube, and from 
its middle point E draw E F perpendicular to A B. 
Draw B D and A C parallel with E F. With E for 
centre and radius E B draw arc B G. As the figure 
is a cube, E B would be the radius of the circumscribing 
circle, and the diagonal B G would equal the length of a 
side of the cube. Therefore with B as centre and B G 
as radius draw the arc G D, then B D will equal the 
length of a side of the cube. Draw DEC parallel with 
A B to complete the side elevation, and draw the per- 
pendicular O P for the cutting plane. Draw M N 
perpendicular, and upon it project the corners of points 
in the side elevation, and make K L and H J equal to 



A B, and complete the front elevation of the cube. 
Project the points in which O P cuts the side elevation 
upon the front elevation, and connect these points to 
complete the section, as shown by the shaded portion of 
the figure. 

Fig. 41. — Sections of an annulus. 

The side elevation shows half of the annulus, and 
the lines A B and C D are the cutting planes. The 
section at A B is clearly shown, and the student should 
be able to draw this section without any explanation. 
The same is to be said with reference to the section 
C D. Therefore the only particular explanation will 
be as to the method of determining the width of the 
section at E F. 

From centre O draw O L perpendicular to C D, and 
with L its intersection with the centre line of the 
annulus for centre and L 2 for radius draw the arc 
I, 2, 3. E F is the point 4 projected, and I, 4, 3 would 
be the width of the section at E F.

Plate 2,y. — A sphere cut by a plane at an angle to its 
vertical axis. In the side elevation a straight line 
drawn to the required angle will represent the plane. 

The section in plan will take the form of an ellipse, 
and the method of developing this ellipse is clearly in- 
dicated. The elevation drawn perpendicular to the cut- 
ting plane would be a circle with diameter equal to the 
long diameter of the ellipse or the length of the chord 
which represents the cutting plane. 

A cylinder cut by two planes at different angles to 
the axis, said planes meeting at the centre of the 



cylinder. The end elevation shows the cutting plane, 
also the points which are to be projected upon the lines 
or planes in the side elevation, and to be projected from 
the side elevation onto the plan. 

The plan shows points which are to be projected 
upon the points from the side elevation. The inter- 
sections of the projections from these points will give 
points in the curves to complete the plan. A cylinder 
cut at an angle of 45° to its axis, when viewed in the 
plan, will show in the developed section a circle.

ISOMETRICAL PROJECTION. 



Plate 38. — Objects drawn in isometrical show three 
of their faces in one view, all of which can be scaled or 
measured. 

It is a species of perspective, differing from linear 
perspective in that the lines are parallel instead of being 
drawn to meet in a "vanishing" point. 

Horizontal lines are drawn at an angle of 30° to the 
horizontal, which is equivalent to tipping the object 
upon one of its corners, if it is a rectangle or a solid, 
such as a rectangular prism, thus giving what might be 
called a "bird's-eye view." The principle of isometrical 
projection is shown in Fig. i, in which a rectangular 
prism is drawn in isometrical. The dimensions are, 
length i^", breadth |", height or thickness |". By 
applying the scale to the figure it will be seen that all 
of these dimensions can be scaled off. The dotted 
regular hexagon is placed upon the figure to show that 
the lines are all drawn to the angles of 30° and go° to 
the horizontal, so that the T square and the 30°-6o°-90° 
triangle are the principal tools required when working 
in isometrical. In Fig. 2 is shown a timber lying upon 
its side, with another timber having the same breadth 
and thickness standing upon one of its ends upon it. 

In Fig. 3 is shown a cube in isometrical, and standing 
upon the cube is a square pyramid, the base of the 
pyramid being smaller than the face of the cube. From 



this figure it will be seen that a regular hexagon gives 
the outline of the cube in isometrical. The dimensions 
are, for the cube, each face a f " square, base of pyramid 
a I" square, height of pyramid i|". In drawing this 
figure, first draw a circle i-|" diameter, and with 30° 
angle draw the four sides of the hexagon and the two 
radii, and with the 90° angle draw the vertical sides and 
the vertical radius. This will complete the cube. Draw 
two diagonals on the upper face of the cube. Where 
they intersect will be the centre of the face, and from 
this centre measure the height of the pyramid. Lay 
out the base of pyramid by measuring the length of a 
side upon the side of the top face of the cube, as indi- 
cated by dotted lines. Draw lines parallel with the 
sides of the face of the cube, and where they intersect 
will be the corners of the base of the pyramid. From 
these corners draw lines to the vertex to complete the 
pyramid. 

Fig. 4 shows a simple truss. First draw the four 
outside members of the form and draw the diagonals 
shown in dotted lines. These will be the centre lines 
of the diagonal braces. At the intersection of these 
centre lines draw a small circle whose diameter is equal 
to the face of the braces, and parallel with these centre 
lines and tangent to the circles draw the lines showing 
the thickness of the timber. Where the face line of the 



PLATE 38

diagonal intersects the vertical, draw a line across the 
face of the vertical, and where it intersects the other 
edge of the vertical will be the point which measures 
the width of the diagonal. From this point draw a line 
parallel with the face lines of the diagonal to define the 
top face. At the intersection of the diagonal draw a 
line across the top face of the diagonal, and where it 
intersects the back edge of the diagonal will be the 
point defining the width of the other brace. Through 
this point draw a line parallel with the front face to 
complete the second diagonal. 



In Fig. I, Plate 39, is shown a frame made up of 
square timber. At each corner of the frame is a 
vertical timber smaller than that in the frame, the top 
ends of which are formed into tongues. The length 
and width of the frame would be measured along the 
lines A and B, the height or thickness of the timber 
on C, the breadth on D, while the distance the verticals 
are set back from the edge of the frame is measured off 
from the corner at E and F. Lines drawn from E and 
F parallel with A and B will intersect at the point from 
which the near corner of the vertical is to be drawn, 
while the two faces of the upright are measured from 
this near corner. In drawing this figure the pupil will 
work to the following dimensions, and use scale i" = 
I foot : 

I^ength of base (A), 8'-o" ; width of base (B), 6'-o", 



Thickness of timber (C), 6"; width of timber 
(D)„ 6". 

Vertical timbers set back from edge (E and F), i". 

Width and thickness of verticals, 4". 

Height of verticals, 6'-o". 

Tension in middle of timber, iV' thick, 3" long. 

In Fig. 2 is shown a box open at both ends, each face 
of which is a square. In the centre of the two front 
faces is a square hole. In the rear faces are also square 
holes, but these are not in the centre of the faces. 
Draw to the following dimensions : 

Faces of square sides of box, 2" square. 

Thickness of walls, 5". 

Openings in sides, i" square. 

Place openings in the centre of the two front or rear 
faces. In the rear faces the openings are ^" below the 
top and f" from the inside corner. Omit the shading. 

In Fig. 3 is shown a circle in isometrical. 

Two methods of drawing the circle are given. First 
method : Lay out the rhombus with major or long axis 
F G equal to diameter of the circle, bisect and draw 
perpendicular to it the minor or short axis. With 30° 
angle draw F B, G B, F A and G A. These lines will 
intersect at A and B, thus cutting off the correct length 
of the short axis. With centre O draw circles equal in 
diameter to F G and A B. Divide these circles and 
proceed as in lesson on Page 64, Plate 13, Fig. 17. 

Second method : Project A and B to either side. 
With C for centre, F G for radius, sweep an arc cut-

ting A produced in D, draw C D and bisect in E and points of subdivision perpendicularly upon D C. With 

erect perpendicular. With E for centre and E C for O for centre and radius O G draw semi-circle and sub- 

radius draw semi-circle and subdivide, and project the divide, and proceed as in lesson on Page 52, Plate 7.

Plate 41. Symbolical Shading. 

At one time the draughtsman represented the various 
materials by means of colors applied to the drawing 
with a brush. With the advent of the "blue printing'^ 
process it became necessary to abandon this method, 
owing to the fact that the colors would not print. Now 
colors are not used even for lines, and it is necessary 
to employ other means to convey to the workman the 
information in regard to the several metals or other 



materials to be employed. The line work shown on 
Plate 39 is now standard^ and is employed by all work- 
shops of any importance, and indeed by most of the 
smaller ones as well. When the shadings are not used 
the draughtsman must carefully mark each piece 
with the name of the material, and even when the 
symbolical shadings are used they can only be em- 
ployed for parts in section, therefore the name must 
be marked on full figures. This will be noted in the 
plates on shop drawing.

Conventional Screw Threads. 



Screw threads are of many forms, those in most com- 
mon use being shown on Plate 43. 

The United States, or Frankhn Institute standard : 
The angle of the sides is 60°. The depth is f of the 
pitch, and the top and bottom are flattened an amount 
equal to one-eighth of the pitch. In the large work- 
shops of the United States this thread is standard, and 
it is used exclusively in all Government shops. 

Common, or V thread : Before the adoption of the 
United States standard thread this was the commonly 
used thread, and is still largely employed. The angle 
of the sides is 60°. 

The square thread is employed in machine tools and 
for many special purposes. It is especially valuable 
when a quick pitch is required, combined with great 
strength and comparatively large diameter at the bot- 
tom. That is, it is not as deep as either the U. S. or V 
threads would be with the same pitch. The proportions 
vary greatly, depending upon the service. The usual 
proportions, however, are as its name implies — square — 
the depth being equal to the width, which in turn is 
equal to half the pitch. 



The 15° thread is a modification of the square thread. 
Its sides have the angle of 15°, its depth is equal to 
half the pitch, and its width at one-half its depth is half 
the pitch. Therefore to lay out this thread draw a 
pitch line half-way between the top and bottom of the 
thread, and on this line mark off the threads and spaces 
each equal to half the pitch. Through these points 
draw the sides of the thread at the angle of 15°. The 
sides will give the width of the thread at the top and 
bottom. This thread has all the advantages of the 
square thread, with the added advantage of greater 
strength and slightly greater wearing surface for the 
same pitch. 

Any of these threads can be made right or left hand, 
double or treble, etc. 

The figures in this plate show the method usually 
employed in the draughting room in drawing large 
screws, straight lines being employed to show the 
threads, instead of the developed curves of the helix. 
This is done to economize in time. There are many 
occasions for drawing the true curves, therefore the 
draughtsman must be familiar with the method.

Bolts and Nuts. 



On Plate 44 are shown a standard hexagon nut in 
Fig. I, a cap screw (Fig. 2), and a set screw (Fig. 3). 

To draw the standard nut or bolt head, take from the 
table on Page 128 the short diameter and draw a circle 
whose diameter is equal to the dimension given. Then 
with the 30°-6o° triangle and T square draw the sides 
of the nut tangent to this circle. The circle will repre- 
sent the chamfer of the nut or bolt head. Concentric 
with this circle draw in dotted line another circle equal 
in diameter to the bolt, and inside of this another circle 
equal to the diameter at the bottom of the thread. These 
two inner circles apply only to the nut. 

To draw the side elevation showing the short 
diameter, project i'-2'-3' either to the right or left, draw 
1-2-3 si^d parallel with it 4-5-6 spaced equal to the 
diameter of the bolt or the distance given in the table. 
With compass in 1-2 and 3 and radius 1-2 sweep in- 
tersecting arcs. With these intersections for centres 
and same radius draw the arcs 1-2 and 2-3. For the 
nut, project circles representing the thread. 

To draw elevation showing the long diameter, pro- 
ject the points 2'-3'-4'-5" downward, and draw bottom 
and top of nut or bolt head as before. With radius 
equal to 3'-4" and centre on centre line of nut draw 
arc tangent to the top. Prolong this arc indefinitely 
across the other faces of the nut. Bisect 2'-3' and 



4'-5' in a and b, project a and b to a'-b'. These will 
be the centres of the small arcs which define the 
chamfer. If for nut, project the circles representing 
the thread. 

In Fig. 2 is shown a standard cap screw. These are 
finished tap bolts, having the heads smaller than the 
standard bolt heads. The top of the head is spherical 
in finish, and its height is equal to the diameter of the 
bolt. 

Dimensions of standard cap screw heads are given 
in the table on bolt heads and nuts. 

In Fig. 3 is shown a set screw. These are generally 
made with square heads, the short diameter of which is 
equal to the diameter of the bolt, the height of the head 
being of the same dimension. Under the head the bolt 
or body is reduced to the same diameter as the bottom 
of the thread. This is done to enable the thread to be 
cut all the way over the body. At the point there are 
several styles of finish, all of which are indicated, viz. : 
The cup, flat and point sizes of standard set screw 
heads are given in the table, but if drawn with the 
short diameter and height equal to the diameter of the 
body of the screw they will be correct. 

The method of drawing the bolt head or nut as given 
above is correct for finished nuts and heads, but it is 
rarely followed in the draughting room because of the

time consumed in a needless detail. The rule usually 
followed is to make the long diameter equal to twice 
the diameter of the bolt, and the height equal to the 
diameter of the bolt. The arcs showing the chamfer are 
drawn in by the eye, and the draughtsman soon be- 
comes expert at this. Tliis makes the nut or bolt head 



larger in diameter than it is, in fact, and insures 
clearance. There are cases when it is necessary to draw 
to actual size, notably when clearances are small, and 
the student should be familiar with the method of 
doing it.

Long diam. hexagon nut or bolt head = short diam. x 1.155. 

Long diam. square nut or bolt head = short diam. x 1.4 14. 

Thickness of bolt heads given in table is for rough heads. 

Thickness of finished heads and nuts is equal to diam. of 
bolt. Other dimensions given in table are finished sizes. 

Short diam. of rough nut or bolt heads = ij/^ x diam. of 
bolt + y^ inch. 

In Plate 45 are given exatnples of conventional bolts 
and nuts, hexagon head and nut and square head and 
nut. When bolts of small size, and of any size to small 
scale, are drawn, the threads are represented as shown 
in the drawings, usually as in the upper one. The lines 
representing the top of the thread are fine, and extend 
at an angle entirely across the bolt, while those in- 
dicating the bottom of the thread are half-way between 
the tops of the thread, are heavy, and stop short of the 
sides. If left-hand thread is wanted it is so marked ; 
also if a special thread, double thread, triple thread or 
other departure from standard. No special instructions 
imply that the bolt is standard.

Plate 47 shows a flywheel with broad face, usually 
called a "band flywheel." 

The side elevation and section give all information 
required by pattern maker and machinist in making 
the wheel, and the student should proceed as follows 
in making the drawing : Draw first the horizontal and 
vertical centre lines for both views and then the circles 
for face or outer circumference, thickness of rim — 
dotted — and the inside flange, the bore of the hub and 
the outside of hub. There being six arms, draw centre 
lines of these arms. As the fillet or curve joining the 
arms to the rim is to be 3" radius, sweep arcs across 
the centre lines of the arms 3" from the dotted line. 
For thickness of rim on these arcs measure the width 
of the arm 5" or 2^" each side of the centre line. Next 
lay ofif the thickness of the arm at the hub 5f ", and the 
diameter 16" across the fillet connecting the arms at the 
hub. Draw in the sides of the arms, and with radius 
3" and centre on the arcs at the rim draw in the fillets 
tangent to the sides of the arms and the rim. Noav 
find a radius by trial which will give an arc tangent 
to twp arms and the circle for fillet at the hub. 



Through the centre of this arc draw a circle concentric 
with the hub. On this circle will be found the centres 
for the arcs connecting the arms. 

The section shown is not a true section, in that the 
arm is not in section, but this method is usually em- 
ployed, as it saves making many views. Scale off each 
side of the centre line the v/idth of face, thickness of 
arm, length of hub and thickness of flanges, and draw 
the several lines parallel with the vertical centre line. 
Project the various diameters from the side elevation 
and draw in the fillets and keyway. 

The section of an arm can be drawn upon one of the 
arms, as shown, or it can be drawn elsewhere outside 
of the wheel to a large scale. The letter "/" shows 
where the wheel is to be machined. That is, the hub is 
to be bored and faced on both ends, and the outside is 
to be turned on the outside and "crowned," also is to 
be faced on both edges or sides. The directions 
"crowned"' ^", means that the rim is to be turned on 
the outside r^''^ higher in the middle than at the edges, 
the object of this crowning being to cause the band or 
belt to run fairly on the wheel.

Plate 48 shows what is known as a "disc" crank for a 
steam engine, with crank pin and part of shaft. 

Draw first the vertical centre line and then the hori- 
zontal Une for centre line of shaft, and parallel with it, 
and 12" apart, another centre line for the crank pin. 
On the centre line of the shaft draw the outside diam. 
of the crank, 43" or radius 21^", and inside of rim 41" 
diam. or 2c4" radius ; then diam. of hub 17" and shaft 
9I". Follow this by finishing the crank in eye 5" 
radius and draw tangents for the crank ; then put in 
circles showing crank pin collar and crank pin, the lat- 
ter dotted, as it is behind the collar. With radius 5V' 
sweep the arc showing where the projecting hub is cut 
away to level of crank face to clear for crank pin boxes 
and draw in the key. The counterbalance is drawn 
from the rim to the hub 45° each side of the vertical 
centre line, and the lines of the counterbalance con- 
tinued would be tangent to the shaft, as shown by 
dotted lines. The section shows the rim 5" wide and 
the thickness through the hub 6", the hub projecting 



f " beyond the rim at the back and |" beyond the rim 
on the front. The web or plate is i^" thick, central 
with the rim, while the counterbalance is simk |" 
below the rim at the front, and projects f " at the back. 
The finishes are indicated by the letter /. 

The crank pin is shown in detail, drawn to a larger 
scale, and is partly in section. This section shows the 
cap to be a separate piece turned out to fit the projection 
on the end of the crank pin, and that it is held in place 
by a hollow bolt with a thick brass washer, having an 
oil groove turned inside which communicates with 
a pipe which is screwed into it. This pipe ex- 
tends to the centre of the shaft, terminating in a hollow 
ball through which the oil is fed to the pipe, the oil 
being thrown by centrifugal force through tiie pipe 
and hollow bolt and out of the oil hole which is bored 
from the side of the crank pin opposite the centre of the 
shaft. 

Make this drawing to scales 3" and 6" =^ i foot.

at the large end to 3f " at the small end, while the di- 
mension 8'-i|^" from centre to centre (usually abbrevi- 
ated on drawing § to §) gives the necessary instruc- 
tions to the smith for making the forging. The gen- 
eral directions "steel forging, finished all over," shows 
that the smith is to allow for this finish by providing 
additional metal for this finish, and the machinist un- 
derstands that he is to machine and polish to every 



dimension. There being no sections to this drawing, 
none being necessary, the symbolical lines are not em- 
ployed to indicate the several metals employed, there- 
fore the names of these metals are marked on the pieces 
or parts. The boxes at the large end for the crank 
pin are of brass, lined in the bore with "babbitt" metal, 
which is retained in place by the "dovetails," while the 
small or "wrist pin" end is fitted with a brass liner

1 Draw plan of cube 2" on each face, standing at 
angle 30° and 60". Make front and side elevations. 

2 A rectangular prism i^" high, i|" wide, 3" long. 
An end elevation would show the prism resting upon 
one long edge, the sides at angles of 30° and 60° to the 
horizontal. Make plan and side elevation. Also oblique 
projection to show full view of one side. 

3 A cone with base 2" diameter, 3" high, pierces 
another cone having base 2|" diameter, 3J" high. The 
axis of the first cone is vertical, that of the pierced cone 
is at the angle of 60° with the axis of the first cone. 
Develop the lines of intersection. 

4 A hexagonal pyramid whose inscribed circle at 
the base is 2", and whose axis is 3", pierces a cone 
whose base is 2|" and height 3". The axes are at right 
angles, or 90° to each other. Develop the line of inter- 
section. 

5 A ring 3" inside diameter, 7" outside diameter, 
and whose section is a regular hexagon, is pierced by a 
cylinder i-|" diameter. The axis of the cylinder is 
vertical to the plane of the ring, and is 4^" from the 
centre of the ring. A line connecting the centres of 
the ring and cylinder in plan is 30° to the horizontal 
centre line of the ring. Develop the lines of inter- 
section. 

5 A cone having base 2" diameter, axis 3" high, is 



revolved at a uniform velocity at the same time a point 
is moved along the side of the cone at the uniform 
velocity of i" for each revolution of the cone. De- 
velop the path of the point on the cone and make plan 
of the line traced. 

7 A hexagonal pyramid whose base is a regular 
hexagon circumscribed about a 2" circle, and whose 
height or length of axis is 3", is to be treated the same 
as was the cone in No. 6 above. 

8 An octagonal prism whose base is a regular 
octagon inscribed in a circle i-|" diameter, and whose 
height on its axis is 2", cut by a plane at the angle of 
45°, the plane cutting the axis at its measured length 
of 2", thus making one face longer than the opposite 
face. Draw plan, front and side elevations, and find 
length of long and short sides. Also develop the en- 
velope. 

9 Draw in front and side elevation and plan a cross 
whose shaft is 6" square and 4' high, standing upon a 
base 6" thick and 2' square. The arms are 6" square 
and i' long each, and are i' below the top of shaft. 

10 Draw No. 9 in isometrical. 

11 Draw in isometrical a flight of six steps, whose 
dimensions are as follows : Length 6', width of tread 
12", height of riser 8". Each step is of one plank i^" 
thick, and is supported on three strings of 2" plank,

those at the ends being set back 2" from the ends of 
the stops. The third string is in the middle of the steps. 

12 Draw in isonietrical a truncated cone. Diameter 
of base 3", diameter of top U", Iieight 2". 

13 Draw a screw U. S. standard thread, 4" outside 
diameter. 3 threads per inch, 3" long, and make a sec- 
tion of a nut to correspond with it. Develop the curves 
of the heli.x. 

14 Draw a square thread screw 4" outside diameter, 
1" pitch, left-hand thread, developing the true curves. 
Make section of nut to fit. 

NoTK. — In the section of a nut the thread is ap- 
parently the opposite hand to the thread of the screw. 



This is because in the elevation of the bolt the portion 
of the thread in view is in front, whereas the nut being 
in section, the front portion is removed, leaving the 
rear in view. 

h'or further practice the pupil is advised to sketch 
odd pieces of machinery, or any objects that may be 
convenient, making careful measurements and mark- 
ing them on the sketches, and afterward making draw- 
ings from these sketches. By so doing he will gain 
valuable experience. Besides acquiring the habit of 
observing, he will also learn how to measure, what to 
take and what not to take, as well as how to represent 
the objects on his drawings. 



A \'ertical Engine, with Details of Parts. 



In designing a piece of machinery, made up of a 
number of parts, the draughtsman first lays out a skele- 
ton drawing, on which he maps out the movements, 
both as to extent, direction, and the relation the move- 
ments bear to each other. After this is done he can 
take up the details — that is, the drawing of each sepa- 
rate part. 

Take as an example the vertical engine. The centre 
line of the shaft is first drawn, care being taken to so 
locate it that room will be left for the bed plate below 
it, and then the vertical centre lines for front and side 
elevations are drawn in. The next step will be to draw 



the centre line of the crank pin, which in the front or 
rear elevation would be a circle which projected upon 
the side elevation, or as in this case, section, woidd be 
two straight lines parallel with the centre line of the 
shaft, and showing the upper and lower positions of the 
crank pin corresponding to the extremes of travel of 
the piston. 

From the upper centre line, or top centre, the length 
of the connecting rod is measured upon the centre line 
which locates the "wrist pin." and from this the length 
of the crosshead, clearance between the crosshead and 
stuffing box, then the space or distance to the inside face 



146 



A MANUAL OF MECHANICAL DRAWING. 



of cylinder bottom. The next step is to lay out the clear- 
ance between cylinder bottom and the piston, thickness 
of piston, clearance between piston and top cylinder head, 
with the stroke of piston added. This gives the neces- 
sary, inside length of the cylinder, and the cylinder is 
then drawn in, with the heads, walls and valve chest. At 
this point the position of the centre line of the valve 
stem is determined with reference to the centre line of 
the cylinder. The main dimensions and form of the 
bed plate and framing, together with the location and 
sizes of shaft bearings, guards, etc., are determined 
and drawn in for reference in detailing. Finally the 
guide for the valve stem is located and outlined as to 
form, and the position of the eccentric on the main shaft 
located. The draughtsman now takes up the matter of 
detailing, and his first step in this direction is to design 
the cylinder, with its steam and exhaust ports, the valve 
chest, valve, cylinder heads, and all the parts that go to 
make up the cylinder complete. 

This is usually followed by the bed plates and frames 
on "housings," after which come the other details, until 
all the parts are drawn completely, and dimensions and 
full instructions for .the shop embodied therein. In 
making the details, those parts that are to be made of 
cast iron or cast steel are grouped or kept together, 
and forgings are kept separate from them, the reason 



for this being that the pattern maker who makes the 
patterns from which the moulder produces the castings 
has nothing whatever to do with the smith's work, 
which is confined to the forgings, nor has the smith 
any business with the castings. The brass parts are 
kept, as far as possible, in a group or class, but the 
drawings for them go to the pattern maker. 

Having completed all the details, the draughtsman 
takes his skeleton drawing in hand again and puts all 
the details into this drawing, thus assembling the parts 
and making the "general" drawing, or "assembly" 
drawing. In working out the details it may be neces- 
sary to alter the dimensions from those allotted to some 
of the parts, and it will therefore be necessary to alter 
the general drawing to correspond. As each drawing 
or sheet of drawings is completed it is checked at every 
point by another draughtsman, who places his initials 
upon it. 

In making a set of drawings of the engine, which 
are included among the "shop" drawings, the pupil is 
expected to work as described above. Further, he 
should work entirely by the dimensions given, and not 
to transfer from the plates, by scale or otherwise, as his 
work will not come out right, the plates having been 
photographed off scale.
